Re: [phplib] FORM data get lost at user timeout... From: Jeroen Laarhoven (jeroen <email protected>)
Date: 10/18/00

Since after a time out you should not accept posted data (probably not the
same user, because you choose to time out him/her) you should not accept the
posted data before he is logged in again.

A possible solution might be store all posted data when the login form is
called as e.g. hidden fields and then accept them after login is oke.

But ... by design ... if one is timed out ... dumping his 'old' input might
feel better.

You might think about simply increasing the time out time (for this form
only?).

Greetings
Jeroen.
