[PHP] Databases
Hi Im kinda new to php. I have a linux server witch has our website on it. I want to make a download page. If a person clicks on a link , they must be able to download from our server. How difficult is this , can you send me an example ?

[PHP] session variables
Hi, Is it wise or wrong to put long strings into a session variable ? Is it better to keep the values short ?

[PHP] sessions garbadge
Hi, My gc_maxlifetime = 3600 (1 hour) and my probability = 100 , just for testing . When i create a session on my site and i dont log out , the session var will still remain on the server , ok , after an hour (not exactly an hour) , when i surf the site , the collector destroys that var on the server (linux server) ! That is how it should work ! But when i create a session at say 23:36 , the session var will still be on the server at 8:16 (after the carbadge collector came around) , why does this happen , does php work in a 12 cicle only , or what is wrong ?

[PHP] sessions
Hi, Tell me , is sessions safe - why is it really used ? Is it important te delete the session variables after u use it ? When a user logs on to my site , he enters the password , i then encrypt the password and verify it with the one in the database ! Will someone be able to hijack the session getting the password before i encrypt it ?

Hi, What should the probability of your garbadge collector be ? is a 100% bad , and how long must the max lifetime of your session variables be , the default is 1440 secs(24 min) , is 24 hours to much ?

[PHP] sessions
Hi, Im working on a site where the user logs in , if username and password matches with uname and pword in database then he is a valid user. I then start a session with session_onstart() and have a variable for his username and for his permissions ! (these variables are stored on server) Once he entered the secrure area , there is a logoff button for the user to log off ! the logoff code looks like (?php session_start(); $name = session_name(); session_unset(); session_destroy(); setcookie($name,,-3600); print(script language='javascript'self.close();/script); ? ) the above code deletes the cookie on the clients computer + the session variables on the server ! finally , here is my question ! If the user does not logoff , but simply closes the browser , the cookie on his computer will be deleted , but the session variables on the server will still be there ! How do i delete this ? Thanks a bunch !
