Hi All,

I would like to create a web app using php that should communicate with Koha ILS for authentication purposes. Can anyone provide the information on how I can talk to the session or cookie variables in koha.

Your help will be very beneficial to our library.

Hi Sheldon The cookie won't tell you anything, not even if the person is logged in or not, it you need to check that the session id in the cookie is a valid one in the database. I would suggest you instead write your app to either use SIP2 to authenticate, or the Koha ILS-DI implementation I hope this helps Chris -- Chris Cormack Catalyst IT Ltd. +64 4 803 2238 PO Box 11-053, Manners St, Wellington 6142, New Zealand
