I am creating a login script.
When the user logs in I am at the minute pulling the data from mysql by setting a php session with the users email, then using that to pull an array for everything I need. Would it be better to carry on using a session, or to pull it from the url using $_GET, either is easy to do, just wondered from all angles which is better.
Thanks.
The session should be used for storing user-specific data, like username. This is protected (the session contents are stored on the server side), while the $_GET can be modified by everyone.
