Thanks for the source. Couldn’t find the “new, easier version”. But the current one seems to work just fine for my purposes

How about add_notice() and add_error() functions?

account_login() creates the cookie/session data to remember that you are logged in. At the end of account_login() is where you would add any extra commands – maybe a “welcome, user!” message or redirect to a different page.

Thank, How about account_login() function? it is to clear all cookie and close session?

add_session(a,b) and set_session(a,b) both do $_SESSION[a]=b;
get_session(a) returns $_SESSION[a];
remove_session(a) does unset($_SESSION[a]);

In some systems where customers are paranoid about XSS attacks I can replace $_SESSION with something else and I don’t have to change thousands of references in my code.

Thanks! You’re the first real person to comment on this blog. Hooray for you!
