Beginner PHP Tutorial - 73 - Setting PHP Sessions

[@choateusaf]

Alex, you are the man! Great video. I just shared this with my PHP class for the group projects we are working on.

[@daniel0417ca]

bold text and italic

[@daniellive590]

I am still a newbie to programming, but i think to solve that problem you can: 1)Go to your php file that contains the $_SESSION['username'] = 'alex' on your browser; 2)Then only enter the php file where you echo out the $_SESSION['username'] on your browser. Hope this helps.

Also, can I use sessions with SSL (or TLS) and/or MD5 too? -- I'm concerned about *"man in the middle" breach.* I've always been a bit suspicious about sessions -- especially when used in conjunction with cookies. I usually snag their IP address and deny any data if the saved IP doesn't match their current one. FYI, I usually code for HIPAA-compliant systems.

[@varsmith6268]

Thnaks a lot for this video. The best thing how you explain it in layman's terms for a non math major to understand programming. Great work on educating people!!

[@inuasha880]

@weward it is a localhost problem but if you upload to a normal host the errors go away/

[@cjvaans4484]

So using the start_session() bring the name of the cookie 'Alex' to the view.php. But I still don't get it.

[@tushargupta3535]

But i am facing error when i use session_start() method in my code it shows no result and also comes up with an error page not reached and looks like it is error related to enabling something from php.ini but i still not know where to made a change please help Thanks

[@avitayk1]

hi, how to make that session using andriod app? i cant do a session for login and move to ather page and keep login it chome session is work bat in the app is't not cant you help me with that? TIA

[@420theriddler]

my webpage hangs and never loads with the following code: the page runs fine when i comment out session_start(); im using sublime text 2 , xampp v3.2.2,php 7 , windows 10, chrome how do i fix this?

[@LeftistUprising]

I have a question: Do all websites which have your information utilize cookies? For example, suppose that there is an online video game, and there is a video game score database. Are cookies necessary so that when I re-login, I see my previous video game scores?

[@VjakegtavNl1]

i have a start session in one file to get an id into the session. But on reload the session id is gone?! Is that because you reload and the session starts again?!

[@15r8r]

are the sessions data-storage/one? if not then how would you say what session to view.

[@Radioposting]

Is using a session var or data, basically makes the data/var global???

[@jeehooahn9114]

ugh, when do you acutally make the session? index? if u start session is that logged in? or do you startsession if you intend to use login on your site? what if you use post as your method for entering form data? how do you pass data from POST to SESSION? do you use POST or SESSION for the method wehn you log into forms? coding videos tend to explain things within the scope, but when you try to understand how and where it fits (i.e. the larger scope), it's comletely silent.

[@dionadewiriana6457]

that WAS a lot of question

[@LeftistUprising]

You must apply the HTML above the PHP, or the PHP above the HTML?

[@SuperSongrock]

can you tell me how to develop shopping cart using session . some body saying do with two dimensional array or do with three dimensional array. give idea sir and give some reference code for me..

[@beanheadshop]

I appreciate the help. This is a very easy to understand video. Im just wondering how I can have the user input data uploaded to a ,php page which session can grab and placed into divs with the same Id on another .html page?

[@spectrevideo4066]

Hello I have make quiz application in which when user get login and solve 4 question and then user get logout, after that when user get login it will redirect to question 5?how we will resolve this problem in php?

[@jagdipsingh8352]

Fantastic video, really clear on explaining the fundamentals of what sessions are. Thanks.

[@jeehooahn9114]

when you attempt to log in, do you use a 3rd variable? If the login fails, then you don't want it set. But you have to set it in order to compare if it matches the credentials in the database. do you set it and then unset it? this isn't very useful until it's demonstrated within the context of actualaly logging in. incompelte. partial. can't do anything wiht it.

[@kaustubh.sharma]

You got the answer or still looking for it :/ ?

[@IbrahimIbrahim-hg3gz]

I have problem.can someone help me ? When I restart my computer or when exit browser my session variables doesn't clean and all time I can see it. What is the different if it is true?

[@catmeister5444]

+Ibrahim Ibrahim You need to clear your cache in your browser settings, that should do it.

[@IbrahimIbrahim-hg3gz]

+Catmeister69. thank you.

[@catmeister5444]

[@RedZambala]

[@MsAgent89]

[@akshith2985]

thenewboston, you are AMAZING. You taught it in a clear way, and gave examples too!!! This is the first video I've seen from you, and it is very helpful thank u :)

[@camelCaseFTW]

Finally, this is what I`ve been waiting for :D

[@koladealade3339]

concise and explicit...makes perfect sense. Thanks

[@JoyfulElephant]

Remember, if you have any html file in your index.php, you must apply the code above it.

[@sydianalyssa4319]

Anyone else have an issue with 502 bad gateway on localhost? I've tried with both XXAMP and the built in server on PHPStorm. All the other files till now loaded fine on both. I know there is nothing wrong with the files themselves because I uploaded them to my website and they worked fine. Is there a PHP setting that needs to be adjusted, or perhaps uncommented in my local php.ini?

[@sydianalyssa4319]

Apache

[@murheyy]

It was the same with me. I just tried to open set.php then went back to view.php again and it worked as in the video =)

[@MrBhargab123]

[@weward364]

Notice: Undefined index: username in C:\xampp\htdocs\practice\setting_sessions.php on line 4 Notice: Undefined index: password in C:\xampp\htdocs\practice\setting_sessions.php on line 5 how do i fix that? i followed everything in the video

[@WEMAKETHEM1]

are first 100 lectures the introductory lectures only because these are quite simple

[@thesickbeat]

@shenzhenprostitute LOL! Thats the funniest shit I've heard in a while. I'm only a bit hesitant about it, because there aren't many people out there that can qualify themselves as a pimp like us so you won't gain alot of profit out of it. Are you still going to continue the project?

[@FFWDEntertainment]

His isn't thenewboston style, I haven't missed a tut yet and ur talking about cookies before we've ever talked about me, what gives Alex?
