Session Question (Hey, that rhymes... sorta)

[MstrBob]

Okay, so I have a loging system using a database. I start a session for a user, and send session variables and such. So now I have two (2) questions.

1)Is this a good method to use for a login system (God, I hope so since I already have it functioning, supposedly)?

2)Is there any way I can track the different current sessions (IE: A Who's Online function)?

Many thanks...

1. Yes, I believe most (if not all) login systems use sessions.
2. You can check out this PHP Freaks article (http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/62/0.php), and you might have some more luck there, as well as Hotscripts (http://www.hotscripts.com/).
