disinfect and validation of sessions and cookies
From a security point of view I'm disinfection and input validation.
Create a session using the displayed username that is disinfected and validated first on a registration of the user.
On further visits when the usernames in their username is validated data base and again a session is created and used throughout their pages.
I put only ever the SESSION for the user, but in my code at the end of the session (according to the information I have seen and read), I finished the session with:
unset($_SESSION['username']);
$_SESSION = array();
invalidate the session cookie
If (isset($_COOKIE['username'])) {}
setcookie ('username', ", time () - 86400, ' / ');
}
session_destroy();
Now, I never really the cookie or use it to my knowledge but I have seen that this code should be used to end a session, so I presume that there is a valid reason and that the SESSION must use the COOKIE and I wonder if $_COOKIE ['username'] must be disinfected whenever the user navigates to a different page in their administration pages I saw that filter_input functions have an option to filter the entrance of cookie. I apologize for not understanding what are cookies in this situation, everything I do is actually set during the connection session and finish on logout.
I do something like:
If (filter_has_var (INPUT_COOKIE, "username")) {}
$cleancookie = filter_input (INPUT_COOKIE, 'username', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
$_COOKIE ['username'] = trim ($cleancookie);
Maybe it would also be useful if I knew why I had reset the session cookies every time I have finished a session, if someone could kindly explain.
Following disinfection session cookies what the stored value in $_SESSION ['username'], so that the user moves between their admin pages this value should be reorganized and if so please could someone advise me how best to do this. Maybe I should validate against the expected values of just say letters and numbers?
Thank you in advance for any help, information and answers to help me to understand and solve the problems of security above.

.. .in my code is not relevant in this situation and can be removed?
At the start of:
unset($_SESSION['username']);
session_destroy();
Yes. That should be enough.
What about the security of the SESSION ID variable is stored as a cookie on the user's computer, can it be corrupted?
Once someone has been connected, it is generally considered a good idea to regenerate the session ID using session_regenerate_id(). To do that only once in respect of the identification of the user information has been verified.

I had problems with some websites load incredibly slowly and direct to other websites very slowly. Some of them I can't access because it says my connection has been reset. One of them where it says the connection has been reset is YouTube, but when I go to a video through a direct link everything okay.
What else is odd, is that blogging on Tumblr is loading very slowly for me, but the dashboard went very well and load perfectly.

Sparklebox is a site of educational resources in the United Kingdom. I get emails from them regularly.
They started suddenly a couple of weeks when I arrived indicating that they come from hugs and Cookies XOXO that a recipe to the site in the United States who subscribe to.
Can you please change it to reveal that they are Sparklebox not hugs and Cookies XOXO?Sorry if you think that the complaints of not being able to see your question are dumb. But it is very difficult, and after complaining over a year my frustration is very high.
Regarding the removal of the entry in your address book for hugs and Cookies, is nothing of the sort. Thunderbird use your display name in address book preferences to fill the list.
Of the last 100 people who came here to complain that the mail of a person was in fact someone else. Their book of addresses for this person was the cause in probably 99 of them.

I'm having problems of speed, scroll wheel, etc... and didn't "clean" my MacBook Pro 15 "Late 2008 with upgrade of RAM because I do not know how to clean it up." So, I was informed that the cache and cookies from 8 years of use of the compensation would be a good start. Before you do it... What problems it will create? WilI I need to know ALL the passwords and ID to all my sites, I need to prepare and or know that I need to deal with when I do this? Are there other things 'cleansing' can I do to make my MacBook Pro works best? Thank you and God bless you!
Start with these simple steps (after that you made that you have a backup of all your data!):
- Start or restart your Mac.
- As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
- Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.
This will put you in Mode without failure, which will be even slower than you used to. Don't worry: after starting over, you can immediately restart in normal mode. In this way, a lot is 'cleaned' automatically.
If it doesn't improve speed, thanks for posting a report of Etrecheck: http://etrecheck.com

When I close Firefox, windows that were open when I closed Firefox are still open, when I click on a link to open a new window. I cleared my history and cookies and even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but that did not work. I had this problem since upgrading to version 29. This isn't the only problem I have had with version 29. Anyone else had problems with version 29?
I ended up going in the settings to erase history and define it for clear history when Firefox closes and you select to erase history and kitchen and browsing history, the closing of Firefox. Now the links work very well and the last page I was watching until I closed Firefox is gone when it opens again. Problem solved!

How to clear the cache and cookies?
I have a Satellite L350 lent by a friend - usually, I work on a Mac and am familiar with computers.
Is it necessary to empty the cache and cookies from time to time, and if so, how do we?
Hey Buddy,
> Is it necessary to clear cache and cookies from time to time
Not normally but I do from time to time because a lot of temporary internet files and cookies is stored so I remove to keep my own system ;)But it s depending on the browser you are using any Web browser registers its own files internet for what browser you used?
If you use Internet Explorer, you can delete the files in the control panel > network and internet > internet options.If you need more instructions, just after again. ;)

Delete history and cookies to see the changes
Hello
I'm new with Business Catalyst and web development in general but to learn as a side-project / hobby. My problem now is that whenever I have change something that I can't see the changes. I'm trying to edit modulestylesheets.css. At the beginning that I struggled for a long time because nothing would change it seemed. I then discovered that I have to clear history and cookies for my browsers load my css changes. It is probably a 'problem' of normal, but I find it really frustrating and I don't know a way around this.
Best regards
Thomas
