Passing session id

[thefisherman]

Hi,

I would like to use the session_id() to pass through pages, since this is quite a good way to get unique id's for different users.

So this is what i have on the first page:

session_start();
session_name("ribkasid");

Then, just to check, i have this:

echo session_id();

Which results in quite a long number, generated by PHP.

Ok, so the very next page the user goes to holds this:

session_start();
echo session_id();

displays nothing

Is this because the session_id has to be passed along in the URL on the first page?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello
I think, all variables in sessions must be global type.

More information You may find : http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-id.php

a good way to get page securised is to memoze the session id then compare on each page opened in this way if womeone try to bypass the login page they want show page

exemple:

login.php

session_start();
$SID = session_id();
session_register("SID");

any page that need to be loggeg:

session_start();
if ($SID != session_id)
{
header("location: login.php");
}
