Languages :: PHP :: sessions for form

I am new to sessions and I only have a vague idea of what it accomplishes. I think it will allow multiple users of my form without their values interfering with each other in the post data. Is that right? If so or if not, what do I need to do to make my form usable by everybody at once?

yes, but even the $_POST data is privy to each user (each connection/browser instance, in fact) session variables are useful to share data between pages on the same site. like this : <?php // page 1 // session_start(); // this is required on all pages sharing data // perform some login that sets the (local) variable $isAdmin (say it's 0 or 1) $_SESSSION['admin']=$isAdmin; // rest of the page echo '<a href=page2.php>goto page 2</A>'; ?> <?php // page2 // session_start(); echo 'as per the session data, are you administrator ? : '.(($_SESSION['admin']==1)?'yes':'no'); // rest of the page ?>
