[pedantic] Actually, the cookie for a session, if it's using cookies and not trans_sid, lives on the client, and can (I think) be affected in JS. One can even store up to 4K of session data *in* the cookie, sufficiently encrypted with a 2-way encryption with the private key server-side, and achieve server-neutrality in a server farm, if one is so inclined. So it's POSSIBLE for one to architect a system wherein the session all lives on the client. If you're willing to expose your entire inner workings of your application (e.g., it's Open Source anyway, or there's just nothing worth hiding in the first place) you wouldn't NEED to encrypt the data. None of this would be useful in the context of this particular thread. [/pedantic] -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
