http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=343257.0 Similar TutorialsHey guys, I'm working a project that requires sessions be stored within the database, as the project I'm working on is on a shared host. But I'm having a problem with getting the data of a session in the database, the other fields like session_id, session_updated, session_created are working fine. I think I've got a bug in my code, but I just can't detect it (frustrating). Database connection class db extends mysqli { private $host; private $user; private $pass; private $db; function __construct( $host='localhost', $user='user', $pass='pass', $db='website' ) { $this -> host = $host; $this -> user = $user; $this -> pass = $pass; $this -> db = $db; parent::connect( $host, $user, $pass, $db ); if( mysqli_connect_error( ) ) { die( 'Connection error ('.mysqli_connect_errno( ).'): '.mysqli_connect_error( ) ); } } function __destruct( ) { $this -> close( ); } } Session handler class sessionHandler { private $database; private $dirName; private $sessTable; private $fieldArray; function sessionHandler() { // save directory name of current script $this -> database = new db; $this -> dirName = dirname(__file__); $this -> sessTable = 'sessions'; } function open( $save_path, $session_name ) { return TRUE; } function close() { //close the session. if ( !empty( $this -> fieldarray ) ) { // perform garbage collection $result = $this->gc( ini_get ( 'session.gc_maxlifetime' ) ); return $result; } return TRUE; } function read( $session_id ) { $sql = " SELECT * FROM sessions WHERE session_id=( '$session_id' ) LIMIT 1 "; $result = $this -> database -> query( $sql ); if( $result -> num_rows > 0 ) { $data = $result -> fetch_array( MYSQLI_ASSOC ); $this -> fieldArray = $data; $result -> close(); return $data; } return ""; } function write( $session_id, $session_data ) { //write session data to the database. if ( !empty( $this -> fieldArray ) ) { if ( $this -> fieldArray['session_id'] != $session_id ) { // user is starting a new session with previous data $this -> fieldArray = array(); } } $this -> fieldArray['session_id'] = $session_id; $this -> fieldArray['session_data'] = $session_data; $this -> fieldArray['session_updated'] = time(); $this -> fieldArray['session_created'] = time(); $session_id = $this -> database -> escape_string( $session_id ); $session_data = $this -> database -> escape_string( $session_data ); $session_updated = time(); $session_created = time(); $sql = " INSERT INTO sessions ( session_id, session_data, session_updated, session_created ) VALUES ( '$session_id', '$session_data', '$session_updated', '$session_created' ) "; if( $this -> database -> query( $sql ) !== TRUE ) { return FALSE; } return TRUE; } function destroy( $session_id ) { $sql = " DELETE FROM sessions WHERE session_id=('$session_id') "; if( $this -> database -> query( $sql ) !== TRUE ) { return FALSE; } return TRUE; } function gc( $max_lifetime ) { return TRUE; } function __destruct() { //ensure session data is written out before classes are destroyed //(see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=33772 for details) @session_write_close(); } } The call $session_class = new sessionHandler; session_set_save_handler( array( &$session_class, 'open' ), array( &$session_class, 'close' ), array( &$session_class, 'read' ), array( &$session_class, 'write' ), array( &$session_class, 'destroy' ), array( &$session_class, 'gc' ) ); if( !session_start() ) { exit(); } Any help at all would be appreciated. Kind Regards Mike Hola, I'm trying to create a web form to insert info into my database using session variables. I'm at my wits end at this point. The reset button does its job but when you click submit it doesn't do anything. I'm using the template from the lynda.com essential php web form tutorials. Any help would be appreciated Here is the client-side header code I'm working with, <?php header("Expires: Thu, 17 May 2001 10:17:17 GMT"); // Date in the past header ("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") .

I am working on an application where a lot of info is pulled from MySQL and needed on multiple pages.
Would it make more sense to...
1. Pull all data ONCE and store it in SESSION variables to use on other pages
2. Pull the data from the database on each new page that needs it
I assume the preferred method is #1, but maybe there is some downside to using SESSION variables "too much"?
Side question that's kind of related: As far as URLs, is it preferable to have data stored in them (i.e. domain.com/somepage.php?somedata=something&otherdata=thisdata) or use SESSION variables to store that data so the URLs can stay general/clean (i.e. domain.com/somepage.php)?
Both are probably loaded questions but any possible insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Edited by galvin, 04 November 2014 - 10:30 AM. Hi A part of my site allows users to send messages to other users. When a member is logged on, they see a panel on the left with a link to the messages page. If there is a message they have not seen, it looks like messages(1). As this panel is on every page, the message(1) is displayed on every page. My question is a general one which i've always wondered about - I determine whether all messages have been read or not from the database. Should I go once to the database when user logs on, and save this value to a session, or should i go to the database each time the member goes to a new page.... The reason I ask is because I am saving a lot of data in the session already so where do I draw the line between saving stuff to a session and just repeatedly going to the database.. I have these two files and I need to solve the problem that I need the user data in the role column to be taken when logging in. I have written it so that the data can be extracted from the database, but it does not work for me that it is “forwarded” from process.php to admin.php . Please don’t know what the error is that the admin.php file doesn’t want to load $ _SESSION['Role'] from process.php ? Thanks to everyone for helping and here is the code: process.php <?php require_once('connect.php'); session_start(); if(isset($_POST['Login'])) { if(empty($_POST['Username']) || empty($_POST['Password'])) { header("location:index.php?Empty= Please Fill in the Blanks"); } else { $query="select * from role_test where Username='".$_POST['Username']."' and Password='".md5($_POST['Password'])."'"; $result=mysqli_query($con,$query); if(mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) { $_SESSION['User']=$_POST['Username']; while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result) ){ $_SESSION['Role']=$row['role']; } header("location:admin.php"); } else { header("location:index.php?Invalid= Please Enter Correct User Name and Password "); } } } else { echo 'Not Working Now Guys'; } ?>
admin.php <?php session_start(); if(!(isset($_SESSION['User']))) { header("Location: index.php"); exit(0); } ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Role</title> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> </head> <body> <?php $_SESSION['Role']=$role; echo $role; ?> </body> </html>
Hi, I'm working with sessions for the first time and have been able to put a member's id into the database. However, when I try and put their display name into the database I got a message saying Unknown column 'xyz' in 'field list' xyz was the display name for the session. Just can't seem to see what I'm doing wrong. In the code below, I even tried changing $_SESSION['member_display_name'] to $_SESSION['member_id'], in which case the correct id was inserted into both the member_id and the member_display_name fields in the database, so I know the table is set up correctly. Any tips? Code: [Select] //**********************SEND TO DATABASE**************************** include 'mysql_connect.php'; $query = "INSERT INTO uploads (date, member_id, upload_name, upload_title, upload_type, subject, topic, year, status, keywords, description, member_display_name, firstname, lastname)" .

",'$upload_nameX', '$upload_title', '".$EXPLODED_STRING[1]."', '$subject', '$topic', '$year', '$status', '$keywords', '$description', ".$_SESSION['member_display_name'] .

Now I am trying to make an "Edit Profile" page but I can't seem to be able to pull up their primary key field which is called "userID" and I need help doing this. How would I get it from the MySQL database? |
