I've typically seen the use of a login / cookie in tracking users and providing security.
-----Original Message----- Quick Question on Cookies vs. IP Number: They appear to be easy to set (well at least in PHP), hence quite easily to get around (The user of your Site simply deletes the Cookie on his Hard Drive...) In Konqueror you are actually given the option of rejecting cookies... Using getenv($REMOTE_ADDR) to retrieve someones IP number isn't too reliable either in the case that someone is using Dial Up... I just want to get ideas from other PHP Coders as to how they secure their Sites and actually keep an accurate record as to who and how many people visit your sites.. coz even a combination of Cookies and IP would be easily by-passed... Some Ideas if you may folks... **************************************************************************** This message is intended for the sole use of the individual and entity to whom it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
