Can anyone tell me what is the best way to store sessions into database in order to recognize that user next time he access the site?I thought about IP address but then I remembered that it is different every time.What thing regarding a user is always the same?

Hi,
the best practice for this is to store a username and a password.
When a user logs in, you can start a session based upon his username.
Start with this.
Let me know if you need some more information.

I came up with the same idea but I want to know something else.Assume that certain user wants to remain logged in that means that he doesn't need to fill in username and password fields again.How can I know that it's him again?Comment

First, why you need to track the user visits? as an example, do you want to store some customized style settings for individual users?
You can get the IP address of the user, but how do you plan to filter the users with shared IPs.Comment

I could make some kind of voting system allowing users to vote only once in,say,24 hours or similar.This is just one example.Now you see why I've posted the questionComment
