Session ID's

[puck54]

I have a completely anonymous forum, and need to track certain transactions by Session ID. For example, I've added a like button to each post. The like button was developed with logged in users in mind, it tracks when a user clicks on the like button and records it to a database with UserID & Post ID so the user cant continuously click the like button. I've been able to separate when a "guest" click the log button and want to record the session_ID & PostID so that they cant continue to click the like button as well. Here's my questions...


1) Is my thinking about the persistence of the Session id correct. It stays the same until 5 minutes of in-activity.

2) I cant seem to find a variable with the guests session ID in it? I've tried
$this->user->data['session_id']
$this->user->'session_id'
$session_id
and many others...

and here's the line I'm trying to insert the session_id into the database.

Code: Select all

$sql = 'INSERT INTO ' . $this->table_prefix . 'posts_likes (post_id, user_id, type, timestamp, session_id) VALUES (' . $post . ', ' . $this->user->data['user_id'] . ', \'post\', ' . time() . ',' . $user->session_id . ')';

Here's a link to the full code I'm modifying...

Any help is appreciated.
