Another question about session feature. ow do you do to don’t create a new session if the same user log again and again please ?

[spand]

I think your users would prefer being able to use multiple devices concurrently

[vincent.brule]

Yes but for example if the user log, shutdown his computer and try to go on the application, the feature session will create a new session instead of using the existing…

[Deactivated User]

normally, it should be two different sessions logged with the same user per computer

[Deactivated User]

and store persistent state somewhere else (not in the session) like a database

[vincent.brule]

And there is no solution to clear the old session and create a new one ?

[Deactivated User]

or you can manually store the sessionId in a database associated to the user, then when the user logs in, you set the cookie of the session with the right value

[Deactivated User]

so both clients reuse the session for the same user

[Deactivated User]

sessions are designed to be isolated, so you usually do not mess with other sessions

[Deactivated User]

sessions usually expires with a TTL

[vincent.brule]

But if all the user doesn’t logout, we will have a big number of session if no one clear the old session ?

[Deactivated User]

if you know about a framework or langauge that does it differently and you can put a link so I can check, we can think about it

[Deactivated User]

sessions usually are deleted based on a TTL

[vincent.brule]

Ah ok And how can we configure this TTL ?

[Deactivated User]

http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-cache-expire.php

[Deactivated User]

it depends on the storage

[Deactivated User]

the directory based storage doesn’t implement TTL as far as I remember

[Deactivated User]

but you can manually iterate the folder

[Deactivated User]

and delete old sessions as a periodic task

Hum ok Thanks
