Hi All,
If someone logs in my system I set up a few Session variables such as user type (admin, user, etc.) and a few other privileges and settings. -
-
session_start ();
-
-
$_SESSION['id'] = $row['user_id'];
-
...
-
...
-
On one server I keep the production version and the test one.
My problem is if I open both versions in different tabs of the same browser both systems read/writhe data form the same $_SESSION variable. I don't want the real(production ) settings to be destroyed while testing.
My feeling is that I should use session_name() function, but I don't know how???
I've just put session_name before the session_start it does not help:(
session_name ('production');
session_start ();
Thanks!

Hi.
So your have two servers, each of them using the the same session data, and you are worried that one of them might damage the session data of the other. Am I right?
If so, you shouldn't have to worry. Each server should have it's own session. One server can't mess up a session on another server.
In any case, the session data is only temporary. It is destroyed when you close the browser (by default). Why are you so worried that it will get damaged?
Hi,
Thanks for reply!!
I have one server on which I keep both versions, so if the same user from the same computer opens the test version all production settings are shown in the test one. That's why I want to separate them somehow.
My customers want to keep their settings available (kept in $_SESSION) for about a week, so I have the following line in my code.
ini_set('sessio n.gc_maxlifetim e', 604800) // 1 week
Thank you!

Then you have to use cookies instead of sessions.

Hmmm, didn't seem to work. I have set session.use_cookies = 1 and
session.use_trans_sid = 1 in my php.ini file. Index.php contains:

<?php
ini_set("session.use_cookies", "off");

$_SESSION = "";

I have a database with information about games, and users are able to vote
for them. Everytime a user votes for a game I store the unique game name
into a session variable (an array). So if they are in a page were they
already voted, they won't have the option to do so.
The idea is that the session cookie lasts "forever", I don't want them
voting for the same game everytime they get to the site. This isn't soo

We set up some basic code (as shown below) which used a meta tag to refresh

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.
