Re: [PHP] Sessions: Trigger a new one, Expire an old one
Your example for the cookie session works, but I wanted to keep sessions
'transparent' and not have to manage sessions.
The code I wrote basically finds the session id wherever it might be,
checks if it's expired, if so, it then removes all traces of the session
id to make session_start() think that there is not already a session...

Session_start() ??
If there isn't a session id present, it'll create one.

Re: [PHP] Sessions: Trigger a new one, Expire an old one
Hi,
I use php 4.2.3 with session.auto_start = 1 in php.ini
What I use with URL session :
$_SESSION= array();
unset($_GET[session_name()]);
session_destroy();
Header("Location: next_script.php");
with cookie session :
$cook_param= session_get_cookie_params();
$life_time= $cook_param['lifetime'];
$path= $cook_param['path'];
setcookie(session_name(),"",$life_time,$path);
$_SESSION= array();
session_destroy();

Re: [PHP] Sessions: Trigger a new one, Expire an old one
Ok, here is my solution:
I wanted this to be as self contained as possible:
function clean()
{
/* get name of session & find session id */
$name = ini_get('session.name');
$sessid = ( !$_COOKIE[$name] ?
( !$_GET[$name] ?
( !$_POST[$name] ? false : $_POST[$name] ) :
$_GET[$name] ) :
$_COOKIE[$name] );
/* run query now to see if sesion is expired, if yes */
unset( $_COOKIE[$name] );
unset( $_GET[$name] );
unset( $_POST[$name] );
unset( $_REQUEST[$name] );
}
clean();
session_start();
Since _COOKIE/etc needs to be UNSET before session_start is called and
re-calling session_start does sqat, the above code (not all of it but
general idea) 'finds' the session id (session_id() has no effect until
session_start is called) and tests to see if it's expired, if so, it
'kills' all possible locations for session_start() to find an id.
*simple*... (or something like that)

Re: [PHP] Sessions: Trigger a new one, Expire an old one
Yeah, John hinted at the answer there. You just need to make the session ID go away prior to starting the session . Just unset it or set it to the empty string or whatever you want to do. It is probably either $_COOKIE["PHPSESSID"] or $_GET["PHPSESSID"]. Chris John W. Holmes wrote: >>"Simple" question.

[PHP] Sessions: Trigger a new one, Expire an old one
"Simple" question. If a users session expires or has timed out, how do I 'force' php to generate a new sessionId? I wrote a handler that stores sessions into a mysql table, and am able to test if it has expired or not. But how do I get php to start a new one? -js -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
