What is "session" in user history

Post by wireplay » 2011-03-17 18:09

Hi,

Does anyone know what "session" is in the user history logging in ADDT or Kollection for PHP?

It looks like an MD5 or something, but I have no idea what it's purpose is. If I don't use the field, the hisotry functions just fine.

Is it just simply the http session and nothing any more useful than that?

A typical example of the data in it is: 3303c64a73d6ec559b29d93f7219f8d4

Thanks,

Chris.

Sorry about this LATE reply somehow I missed this post.

I think it is the session ID you are referring to. If you look at the cookies , PHPSESSID, stored on the pc when visiting your site, is the string the same?

You do not have to store that info in the database if you don't want it. However it could be a good way to increase security if you want to compare that info with the value in the cookie to ensure its not been tampered with.
