Logins

Hello,

I am working on a new project in php and was wondering if there was a better login method than using cookies? I am avoiding asp/.net even though its my "native" web language... simply because of the validation issues it has by default. Yes I know they can be overcome, but php is free and runs great with mysql on linux. But I am just wondering if there is a better way to handle/control logins than using cookies....

thanks in advance

well that was quick, do the sessions store something on the server then to identify the user and not require any client side cookies? I'm not exactly sure on the differences/benefits of using one over the other.

Yes, sure -- the best way is to avoid thinking on such low-level issues and customize any existing CMS. Why to write what is already available for free? For example, Joomla: http://www.joomla.com/

because, i take pride in my work. I like to be able to say I built this. I have looked at joomla and I did not like what it had to offer for this project. There have been other projects where that fit perfectly. Also, when I build it myself, it is much easier to customize as I am not stuck using templates, plugins, modules etc to achieve the same functionality.
