hi, i am very new in php programming. Pls help me how to store session variable into my sql database. Below is my code

I tend like to ask this question often before I starting helping any members.

Did you write this code?

I mean the code is pretty advance.

You are using PDO connection.

Was there an error when you ran the code?

I think you have too many sessions.

If you wrote this code don't you feel you have too many sessions?

Hi

There is no error in running code. initially I got lot of error. One by one , i have cleared.

I have referred the book php "PHP & MYSQL" by kavin and based on his instruction i have wrote for my environment. I have just started my PHP just 3 week ago. First i tried to store the session in database
It is not in that book. since I have started just 3 weeks, still I am hanging in login form only.
and also i do not know how to retrive the session variable..... that why i am here..

tq

I think this code is too hard for you. There's more work involved.

You need to add alot of things in your code.

You need to create a function for a UPDATE statement and an INSERT statement too.

First i tried to store the session in database

Can you post your table?

Do you have a timestamp or a session_id in your table?

If you don't have timestamp or a session_id then you need to add a column called timestamp and session_id in your table.

that why i am here..

Personally, I feel you need to learn basic PHP then move to something like this.

The code seems to be messy & involves lots of unnecessary checkings.
First try in simple way.
1. Declare a session variable /Or get an automatic session variable.
2. Set and pass the variable.
3. Insert the variable into database.

thank you LastMitch and Jessfly. Yes I have to go basic first. once i completed the insert,update,select, then i will post my code for further session storage in database

thank you
