We do pass the session id which is really a cart value in the URL, sorry. But we don't call it a cart, we call it sid for session ID. You can call it whatever you want. The session record is stuffed with a number of fields such as name, level, status, date and time created, etc.On every page, there is an include file which: a) makes sure there is an sid, b) check the date and time on the sid and if expired, redirects to the login page, c) checks the user level for enabling various menu options or other features for that page.So that's one db lookup (based on session id) on every one of the 100,000 page views a day. Heck we even do a banner ad database operation on every page too, and on a 300MHz blueG3 doing lots of other stuff, we're barely breaking a sweat.___Joe___ (MisterYouKnowWho)_________________________________________________ Joseph D'Andrea JoeDan@West21.com WEST21.com Internet services for the 21st Century http://www.west21.com/ _________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
