Wade -
I am very new with using PHP so I cannot submit my answer as "what most
use". However, here is what I use:
I do not like to be dependent on Cookies. For me, Cookies are a
convenience. That is, I may store a UserID and if it is in a Cookie,
use the ID to put up a greeting or whatever.
Secondly, I am DB oriented, so I opt for DB solutions. I create a
SessionID using the time() function. This is stored in the DB with an
Expire time and it is the only value I pass from page to page (I use
POST for passing values). On login, I do get the UserID and PW and if
they are OK, I then assign the Session ID.
I realize there are many additions to the above that can make it more
secure, but I am not dealing with sensitive data at this time.
