sessions...

[Goldfinger]

ok i was reading in the php manual about the session_id() function and my question is.. will it automatically grab the session_id that i placed in the url?

?s=<?=$PHPSESSID?>&page=blah

?? or do i need to say..

session_id($s);

VB use:

PHP Code:

<a href="$PHP_SELF?s=$session[sessionhash]">link</a> 


other use:

PHP Code:

<a href="$PHP_SELF?PHPSESSID=<?php echo session_id() ?>">link</a>

um.. this isnt for vbulletin .. this is for my own script .

[Goldfinger]

and im talking about grabbing the session in other pages.. i think using ..

session_id($s) would work.. but im just trying to make sure..

[TECK]

the second code line is correct. session_id() returns the session id for the current session. if the id is specified, it will replace the current session id. SID can also be used to retrieve the current name and session id as a string.

PHP Code:

session_id(SID) 


note that i didnt use $.

OT: vBulletin doesn't use PHP's built in session handler, which is why it's much different.
