Session security


Simmo

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

This is the senario:

 

User logs in, if successful connection details for his database are stored in a session variables which are used to access information.

 

Are there any precautions I need to make sure the data in the sessions are safe?

 

Thanks

I had a similar query.

 

I think the general thought is that session variables are safe.

 

However if you wanted to make double sure then you could still run any sanitizing checks on them. Just be sure to only run data once through the mysql_real_escape_string before entering into mysql, else you end up with undesirable results
