Mailing List Archive: Session Management

Hoi list,

at the moment I'm working on the session management. It works very well
and I like the idea from the udat hash. But I've noticed some strange
behaviors. Everytime I'm checking if a user is logged in the system
creates a new session id in the database and I muss delete with
tied(%udat)->delete; I though a new session id will just be created when
I put some stuff in the udat-hash. Can I avoid this behavior?

I would like a user only log in once, if a user logs in twice I will be
able to delete the old session id. Is there a way I can verify this?

Thanks in advance

greets

The session id is stored in a cookie, so if a user comes to your site
without a cookie and you are using %udat, Embperl will create a new session.
Embperl cannot know that this is the same user.

You have store the session id of the user somewhere and is the users logs in
the second time you can retrieve the old session id and delete it.
