Re: PHP Tips and Tricks
logins is not a variable, take out the $
$updateplayer="update players set logins=logins-1 where name='$player'";
also i am assuming you have the query line on the next line?
$updateplayer="update players set logins=logins-1 where name='$player'";
also i am assuming you have the query line on the next line?

Re: PHP Tips and Tricks
so whats the cons to using $_SESSION's to hold all ya variables.. ??
Re: PHP Tips and Tricks
They are all in sessions. What happens when someone clears them.
Re: PHP Tips and Tricks
theonly way to clear sessions from the users point is to logout/close brower .. they only have to log back in .. as long as ya updating the database with the current $_SESSION['variable'], then its ok isnt it??
Re: PHP Tips and Tricks
A session is still a cookie. You can delete individual cookies in the browser quite easily.
