Question about sessions

[adrianuk29]

What I would like to know about sessions, is when you create a session does this create an automatic id for it. For instance say I have used sessions to store my name and surname from a form and not bothered to kill the session afterwards, if someone from another machine went to enter there name and surname in to the form, would the sessions still contain my data, or would they get a new id as well?

Hi there,
sessions are created with their own "id". What ever you store in a sessions "belongs" to 1 user.

Take a look in your /tmp folder where the sessions are createt, where you can learn what a sessions contains, and how it is named.

When a user leav your site, no one can take over that session, unless it is a hacker. But that is not a PHP problem, it's more a server security problem!

Good luck!
