Is this possible

is it possible to append a ip to a session on your website?

lets say i have 3 guests who is on my websites browsing and we have their ip can we append the 3 ip's to 3 different sessions?
or at least append all to one session like a guest session.

thank you in advance,

Do you mean something like this, where all users share the same session ID if they're guests? It is possible, but I don't any reason why you would want to do that.

php Code:

$szGuestSessionId = md5('TALKPHP_GUEST_SESSION');

if (!$pUser->hasLoggedIn())
{
    session_id($szGuestSessionId);
}

If they are guests, you should read the data from a class. For example:

php Code:

public function getUsername()
{
    if (isset($_SESSION['username']))
    {
        return $_SESSION['username'];
    }
    
    return 'Guest';
}

Don't use sessionid. You can also store their data in the database, create a mixture of cookies, useragent hashed and ip and create your own protected sessions.
