I had my exam today and I got a question on session and cookies. I watched this video in the morning. Because of your video I could answer that question.

Thank you 🙏💕

A tip for writing the expiration-time is to, instead of writing it in seconds, write it in a more comprehendable manner:

SYNTAX:
time() + seconds * minutes * hours * days

Example for a cookie that lasts a week (7 days):
time() + 60 * 60 * 24 * 7

Daniel....great set of videos, thanks for taking the time to make them. Small point - the number after time() is seconds not mili-seconds

This guy is on point. I've been trying to learn this stuff for a while now. Great job on explaining the semantics.

[yannik]

I'm here! 😎 Great video, just posting a comment to show some support! Keep up the good work. 🤙

[seifcocksucker]

I´ve been watching your videos for a week and seems to be longer! great job!

[ricekrissy]

Great videos 👍 In this video you mentioned that usernames/passwords should be stored in sessions and that sessions end as soon as you close the browser. But When I go to a website that needs me to login, I can close the site and then go back and still be logged in. Does that mean that site is using cookies to store my username and password? Or is there something else they're using to remember my username and password?

[cmd]

I use a cookie to remember the user so they dont have to log in every time they visit the website and I store there username in that cookie is this wrong?

[atmian]

Good info. However, 1 day = 86400 seconds, not milliseconds as you said. So should seconds or milliseconds be used for cookie time? If milliseconds, you should enter instead.

[sharifabahar]

Thank you Danial for such great series. Do we you what is the id of a user when we assign value for session ? If yes how do we know ?

[collegestudy]

sessions are stored in server then how can closing chrome delete session?

[jackywong]

if u want delete session you can use
session_unset('your session name');
or
session_unset();
clear everything

[adriandinca]

First of all, you have the best php tutorials on youtube! :D

Secondly, I was wondering if it's possible to share a session between two or more users. Here is what I mean.
Let's say we have a $_SESSION['room'] (which stores a multidimensional array) is it possible to share a reference to this session between two users?

I tried something like generating a random name for the room and store it inside a variable called $room_id and than I started a session $_SESSION[$room_id] but of course it didn't work :).

Thanks in advance!

I am using xampp on windows. I restarted my computer and started xampp but my previous logged in session stayed. Why is that so? Also it is fresh install of xampp.
