Re: [PHP] Sessions and AOL

[Gerard Samuel]

No its not a matter of tying a session to an ip address.
Im modifiying some code that works as a "whosonline" on a site at any given time.
Currently, it mainly works off ip address, of which we all know isn't accurate.
As far as my usage of the word "AOL", that only represents my personal experience,
with the ip address jumping phenomena.

I was wondering, if for example, an AOL user browses your site that uses php sessions,
do the session ids change when they hop ip addresses?

No. Sessions are not (or should not be!) tied to IP numbers.

Im looking for a better way to counteract AOL's ip jumping.

Why? It's not just AOL!
