Ah, I understand. Perhaps the easiest way to solve this problem is to create a custom session handler that uses the login ID as the key for the session. You can't have more than one session with the same login ID that way, so that stops multiple logins. I hope that makes sense, and I'm sure the people smarter than me around here (for there are many) will correct me. Preventing multiple logins is not an easy task to solve without a central location that is keeping track of who is logged in. -- Chris Hartjes My motto for 2007: "Just build it, damnit!" rallyhat.com - digital photo scavenger hunt @TheBallpark - http://www.littlehart.net/attheballpark @TheKeyboard - http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
