Hello

I really think the using the session thingy to sort of track the user is pretty cool so what I need to know is how to use session ...

Thanks

Take a look at the tutorials on PHP.net

These have all of the functions that you need to know to use sessions.

Hope this helps.

Basically, you can use $_SESSION just like any other array, so long as you session_start() on each page before sending any data.

PHP Code:


session_start();

Starts the session.

PHP Code:


session_destroy();

Closes the session

PHP Code:


$_SESSION['name'] = 'value';

Writes "value" into "name"

PHP Code:


$data = $_SESSION['name'];

Retrieves the value of "name"

PHP Code:


session_regenerate_id();

Changes the session ID

PHP Code:


session_id();

Gets the session ID

PHP Code:


unset($_SESSION['name']);

Deletes the value of 'name'
