I read and reread the PHP manual about sessions, and I have a quick
question. What causes the session id to change? I tried destroying the
session and unsetting the session vars, but it maintains the same id.
Just so you know, I don't need to make the session id change for any
reason. I'd just like to know what to avoid since I'm going to be storing
data the user enters with their sessionid and I'd like to make sure that
they can still access it through their entire visit.

The session id shouldn't change. It's randomly generated when the user
enters your website and is then passed back by the browser using cookies
or as part of the url on each subsequent request. This id is then used
as the key to the session variables.
Destroying the session variables simply destroys the contents of the
session. The id and the empty session will continue to exist.

So, when the client deletes the cookie, the session id will be lost. If
the client continues to visit the site, he will receive a new cookie
with a new session id. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Folks,
I consider myself a reasonably strong PHP programmer, but I've not used
sessions before (I've used cookies instead) and I'd appreciate it if
someone could confirm something for me.
Namely... I'm working on someone else's code who has used sessions - In
their main login page, they do not use session_start() but instead, just
write directly to the $_SESSION super global array variable. This seems
to work - however on some later...

I have been using the default session state (InProc) and have found that I
have been loosing my information after a period of time (normally 20
minutes).
Is there anyway to find out how much more time I have on a session?
If I do a refresh, does reset the session clock?
Do you have have to go to another page to reset the session timeout or will
a postback also do it? This is important as we have a few pages that a user

We have a question here where a developer says that if the same user starts 2
instances of the application on his machine, the session variables may get
mixed up b/c the session is PER IP ADDRESS. I thought each browser instance
had its own session and the two instances of the application would never get
mixed up? Thanks.

Hello all,
I apologize for the naivety of this question, but I'm wondering whether
session variables can ever be modified (somehow) by a client without having
to go through code that I write. If I read in user input from a web form,
sanitize the input to make sure there isn't any injected data, and then
store the sanitized input in a session variable, is there any way for that
session variable to be modified by the client afterwards? I...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
