Re: why a session-based program behaves different on different computers

data is in the db. a query will return the correct step that is next in the
ladder of steps to get to the top. user logs back in, that step is
displayed. now, pray-tell, HOW IS THE DATA LOST?



And your mind is completely unable to grasp a simple concept. If the
session is lost and there is no user login, there is no way to reference
the row in the table related to this user.

You have 500 users currently active. Suddenly one of them loses a
session. Now - WHICH OF THOSE FIVE HUNDRED ROWS IS RELATED TO THAT
USER? THERE IS NOT LOGIN!

His solution to that is to display 500 credit card numbers and names
and addresses, mostly of other people, and let the user choose his.

Even without privacy and security issues, it sounds a lot easier
to just start over, or better, go to a different web site run by a
different company entirely.
