Thank you very much… I have been programming in PHP/MySQL for about 6 years and while I understood what “To Do” and “Not To Do”, I can honestly say I didn’t get the hashing until I read this article and a similar article you wrote. Very helpful.

Don’t use cookies. Cookies are stored client side and are sent to the server with each request. Session data is stored on the server. Out of the box PHP uses a cookie to identify each user with their particular session, but this does not allow session data to be manipulated; storing all of the data in cookies would.

What do you mean by multiple logins? Do you mean having multiple users logged into your site at once? If so the answer is yes, you can use sessions.

Hello there

I really like this article and will surely help me with some security issues i currently have for my project.

I still have a “small” question, that you might be able to answer:
What if I need multiple logins at the same time? Can i still use the $_SESSION variable or should I use $_COOKIE insead?

I hope you can help me

Sincerely,
I.M.

What I meant by that is that you shouldn’t be redirecting users from page to page if you don’t have to. The php file that generates your login form should be the same one that processes the data. This way if there is an error (ie incorrect password) you don’t have to redirect the user back to the login.

really nice tutorial, was very helpful! Could you be a liitle more specific on this: ” I don’t recommend, for example, using header() to bounce your users around to different pages”

What methods are recommended?
