PHP Store User Data without Sessions
- by Sev
Is there anyway to store users data such as userid, email, etc to be accessible from all pages of a website after they have logged in, but without using sessions or cookies?
For example:
class User
{
var $userid;
var $username;
var $email;
.. methods..
}
after they login at login.php
$currentUser = new User($_POST['username'])
now, how do I access $currentUser from another page, such as index.php if I shouldn't use sessions or cookies at all?
so that I could do the following in index.php:
if ($currentUser->userid > -1)
{
echo "you are logged in as: " . $currentUser->username;
}
else
{
echo "click here to login";
}
i asked a similar question before, here, but the answers didn't fulfill my needs.
