Okay,

I was looking through the database for a forum today and saw a session table and it had all the sessions used in it.

So whats the point in that? What can logging sessions do for me as a website administrator?
How can I log other info along with the info, eg. what user id used that session id, what time was it used, for what duration,

Is there anyway of logging what the person using a session id did during that session? e.g what pages they looked at?

Thanks

I am not sure correctly

Using session id depend more the way you work. The point of it i cant tell you exactly.

but there is a way to get the session id

session_id() will give you the id of the user session.

you could create a table that looking like this

--------------------------------------------------
id | master_id | sessionid | login(date)|logout(date)|
--------------------------------------------------

afeter when you start the session juste add this isert
insert into session values('','','the_master_id', 'session_id(),'now()','')

a the log out do the same but add the where in you msql querry make sure you use the session_id to call the right line cuze some one could comme more thant once so the master id is not the right thing to reffer you could also look for the the table id

i hope is what you want

There are PHP methods to write you're own session handlers which would mean you could do essentially anything you wanted with the session information...

They have article on custom sessions here :

I was hoping to get more easier method of passing variables page to
page but I am not much successful yet.


Post here if you have more on this.
