Session persistence problems

[eluser]Nick Jennings[/eluser]
Hi Michael,

Here are my cookie settings:

Code:

$config['cookie_prefix']    = "cmdforms";
$config['cookie_domain']    = "localhost";
$config['cookie_path']        = "/";

I'm running this on my local machine during development, hence the 'localhost'.

The reason I have the match_ip set is because this is for an order form, so my thinking was that it's safer to have them logged out on the off chance their IP changes in the middle of session (which is not so common), rather than risk any hijacked session. Not sure if my reasoning is justified though.

BTW - enjoyed the drunken code igniter vid I'm using some tips I learned from that for this order form script.

[quote author="Michael Wales" date="1230690083"]What are these settings:

Code:

$config['cookie_prefix']    = '';
$config['cookie_domain']    = '';
$config['cookie_path']        = '/';

Also, you probably don't want to match IP as a user's IP address could change at anytime, making them receive a new session ID.[/quote]
