When a Flex application in a browser communicates with a php page for the first time a session is created. This is the same behavior as user receiving a PHP page in their browser. - true , but the session is created only if the php installed in your server is configured to auto start a session or you manually start the session in your scrip. - This session that is created last indefinitely with Flex applications because Flex keeps the connection open / session alive on the server. I am not sure if this is 100% true , but i believe by default , the http headers send Connection: Keep-Alive, so sessions remain alive. In my application it works okay, session doesn't expire while flex application runs. However, I believe if you send custom HTTP headers this behavior can be lost. - Flex keeps the connection alive by periodically pinging the server. same as above - Sessions will never timeout due to this behavior. same as above - When the user navigates away from the Flex application the session will timeout on the server. true , it will timeout in the time specified in your php.ini To manually timeout a session on the server call a page or function that executes this code " session.destroy( );" <-- not sure what the recommended method to clear the session on the server. - true , depending on your php session you will call the correct function to destroy the session Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ---- From: dorkie dork from dorktown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 3, 2007 8:37:15 PM Subject: [flexcoders]PHP and Flex questions Can someone tell me if these statements are true or false and if false what is the correct answer? - When a Flex application in a browser communicates with a php page for the first time a session is created.
