Thanks to all three of you for the responses :) To explain a bit more about the extent of how I use the sessions, the majority of why I use them is to restrict access to certain areas. I have varying levels of permissions on each user account, and do the usual "check if they are logged in on each page" scenario. In addition I allow selecting a "permanent" skin choice, which I put into a session variable that expires a zillion years in the future. There are a few other optional flags that I need to know about on each page, per user/session, for similar skin-type reasons -- things that they have chosen not to see, how to see it, etc.
I've also sometimes passed an object as a session variable because I didn't want to have to deal with the $_POST array, but that could very well be a terrible coding choice. Given those exact things, do you three (or anyone else) have an opinion on which would be better in php or jquery? The auth, at least, will need to be almost everywhere. thanks, -kim --- Olivier Percebois-Garve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If you auto-fill form fields using php session and > want to convert it to > a cookie-based storage > then its a good choice because you will offload your > server. > > > Kim Johnson wrote: > > Currently I use PHP's built in session functions > to > > handle ensuring users are logged in, etc. It > doesn't > > work correctly a small percentage of the time, but > is > > robust as far as being able to use the $_SESSION > array > > and other such things.
