I'm in the final stages of implementing a codeigniter site which requires a really simple login system: one user and one password, to protect the admin area.

Is there a way in PHP to get a list of all sessions (and the variables within each) on the server? Basically, we have a maintenance function which needs to know which users are currently logged into the site. We already store data for each user in a session variable, but I am hoping that I can loop through each of these sessions and pl...

Using PHP, given a URL, how can I determine whether it is an image? There is no context for the URL - it is just in the middle of a plain text file, or maybe just a string on its own. I don't want high overhead (e.g. reading the content of the URL) as this could be called for many URLs on a page. Given this restriction, it isn't esse...
A certain site I know recently upgraded their bandwith from 2,5 TB monthly to 3,5 TB. Reason is they went over the 2,5 limit recently.

One thing I haven't seen them consider is the fact that JPEG and other images that are displayed on the site(and it is an image-h...

An SQL database is overkill if your storage needs are small. When I was young and dumb, I used a text file and flock()ed it when I needed to access it. This doesn't scale, but I still feel that non-database solutions have been completely ignored in Web 2.0. Does anyone not use an SQL database for storage? What are the alternatives? ...
