There's a sessions tutorial on phpfreaks.com that outlines the basics of using sessions. I'm not 100% sure what you mean when you say you don't want to do "url" rewriting. Without either cookies or passing a url param, there is no way to determine if the request comes from someone who has an active session.
As for session classes, there are many. Try the usual places... google, sourceforge, freshmeat, phpclasses etc. -----Original Message----- From: ajay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 9:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] session management hi! well i do have a MySQL database. The scenario is this, i dont want to use cookies or do any URL rewriting. i'm looking for something that mirrors J2EE's Session object that contains information about the user, their security level(user/admin etc) and this information can then be verified before each request. There would ofcourse be an expiry on the object. Is there a prewritten framework/class to handle this? thanks regards -- ajay --------------- Who Dares Wins ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: www-mail.usyd.edu.au -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
