Cookies and 10,000 users - Geeklog in its current state does use way to many cookies. 10,000 users or 10,000,000 users, could also mean load balancing across multiple web servers. In zero cookies situation there would have to be either replication of sessions varibles between servers, or configure php to use sessions varibles from a nfs that would accessible by every other server. Both of this are messy situations due to platform dependence.

The better option would be to have one cookie which keeps a unique session identifier after login and that is deleted after logout. Then store the same unique session identifier in the database table, along with client ip address, username and timestamp. This way every time a page is loaded after login, the unique session identifier would be used to authenticate the user. The use of ip address would improve security, and with the timestamp would allow for set timeouts.

Geeklog language?
Why not use XML, instead of creating yet another scripting language?

Yes, we are looking at nixing quite a few of our cookies and boiling it down to one, long term cookie. We will implement sessions using PHP4 sessions (or something similar).

Do you have an example of xml-based scripting such as you mentioned? Only reason GLML is proposed is to provide way users can format text without learning HTML which, IMHO, is more complicated than bb-style scripting.

The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there\'s only one other choice.
