Hi all,
Newbie learning about php Classes…
I have a question about using a php user class and session variables. Let's say that I have managed to create a user class that finds a particular person from the database query.
As I move about the site from page to page it would be nice to be able to use the current user inside the user class without needing to re – look them up in the database multiple times
Q: so is there a way to combine the current active user in the class with session variables so that they can be used multiple times? If so, how would this work?

This really is not a class issue. When you call the class to determine
the record ID of the user, you will save it in a variable. Probably
created by calling the class to instantiate the variable.
What is important is understanding sessions, to track repeated page
accesses. This is a good start:

Now for security reasons, DO NOT USE the record ID as the session
variable. Save the session ID and record ID pair in either the database
or the host file system.
