Re: [phplib] Caching of sites & losing login. From: Don Undeen (dundee <email protected>)

thanks. Wouldn't this run counter-purpose to steffen's issue of having to "reload" a
page that was originated from a form, like search results?
is there a way to satisfy both of our requirements?

On a perhaps related note, I'm using phplibs session, auth, and user classes with
PHP3. I'm having the problem of the site occasionally asking for my login and
password again. Sometimes it happens when I've been away (but no logged out) for a
while, but sometimes it happens during the course of normal use. Like I might hit
"submit" and then get the login screen.
Has anyone else had this experience? thanks.
