[Xerte-dev] Re: Session ID

[Smith, John]

Yes but a returning user (or moving between pages) is tracked using cookies as t’internet is stateless…

It’s just an idea…

In my mind php sessions are set on the server? Not a cookie for the user?

Perhaps that’s why I don’t really see it – I’m always logged in with the same account… perhaps there is a cookie remnant being left that is interfering with the session…

Can’t we just run the “Logout” code to expire/flush the old cookie when login process is run, before setting the new cookie?

Logging out and back in again has fixed it.

Just happened. First time login to toolkits today since booting, not been on any other installs. The last time I used it yesterday I logged in another user via static.php, maybe there’s a clue there?
