Re: [PHP] Issues in passing session data

 For instance, most developers uses session_start()
 on top of every page. The problem is that after 
 visiting each page, a new session file is created on
 the server.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think a new
session file is created.

session_start() creates a session or resumes the
current one based on the current session id that's
being passed via a request, such as GET, POST, or a
cookie.

[PHP] Issues in passing session data

2003-03-04 Thread Hantzley 
Hi php users,
I have some questions regarding the way developers uses php sessions.
For instance, most developers uses session_start() on top of every page. The
problem is that after visiting each page, a new session file is created on
the server. Now i made a web application that uses the start_session
function on top of every page as follows:

?
  if ($PHPSESSID){
   session_start($PHPSESSID);
   if (session_is_registered('valid_user')){
?

and it works. But now only one session file is created on the server.

Is this the best way of passing session data??
