could any one explain how does the session in moodle work? i'm looking at the db and i am seeing that userid is used to identify the user sessions .and since i want to use moodle's existing login authentiation then on every page i'll put this
<?php
session_start();
?>
o do i have to put something else ..
Moodle handles the session for you. You definitely should not call session_start in your code.
You have not really explained what you are trying to achieve, so it is hard to say more.
thanks for the response. what i did was i created a block to allow the students to create a timetable and then they can request that lecturers be permitted to view it. everything is working however when i log into to moodle as different students and enter into the block, there is no unique view. each student can see the same timetable. so i am unsure how this happens. Thanks.
also if i can be reffered to some sort of document with would be helpful.
Surely you should be saving the data into the database, not the session?
yes i am
