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.

[@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!!

[@definty]

[@MsAgent89]

great basic tutorial of PHP, thank you newboston :)

[@jagdipsingh8352]

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

[@koladealade3339]

concise and explicit...makes perfect sense. Thanks

[@Untouchabel]

you made my day !

[@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 :)

[@Marshmillo]

Thank you so much, I was able to finish my login system from your advice. Really appreciate the video. :D!

[@camelCaseFTW]

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

[@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 =)

[@SytzeVisser]

Love the British Cookie! Thanks - now I get the sessions thing...

[@Radioposting]

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.

[@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?

[@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???

[@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.

[@rajaosama3930]

You are Just Great .

[@LeftistUprising]

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

[@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

[@MrLongAnimations]

easy and useful for everyone! Thank's

[@markkenneth0270]

thanks!! very user-friendly tutorial ..

[@HereIsmarcus]

Many Thanks. Very helpful session tutorial.

[@siddharthjagadabi306]

is it important to have both files in one folder?

[@thefabrab]

Thanks a LOT MAN! I was stuck with a problem and thanks to you I found the solution! you are a life saver :D :D :D Keep it up!

[@cjvaans4484]

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

[@inuasha880]

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

[@thesickbeat]

@shenzhenprostitute Thats some dope technology you're developing. If only more people could program like you this world could become a better place..

[@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 :/ ?

[@420theriddler]

[@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?!

[@IkBrengDePost]

[@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

[@billyrosario2479]

coookeeeyysss

[@ahmadaziz1800]

awesome ::)

[@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]
