Good afternoon all,
I have been trying for a few days now to see if I am on the right path. I have ready many community posts on sessions, session variables, how to pass variables between pages… Etc.
I am new to the backend side of developing so I am a little lost. I have an idea as to what is needed but I really need someone to help with the process.
What I am trying to do is use an API form to connect to our internal company backend for both creating a user and verifying a user. When the call happens a unique ID key is sent back. I am assuming I will need to store this in a session variable and create a global variable that allows for page access and population of that users specific data pulled from our server.
The issue is I am not sure where I start to create this. Do I need to create a data base to store the session variable? is the security provider still needed? If so I would assume it would need to be associated to the database set to store the unique key. Can I get away with not using a database since we have this on our company server side?
If I can just get a starting point with a few guides I can get this moving forward and start the trial and error process.
Thanks for any help that can be given.
