Session files

[pnagames]

Hi all

for the first time i have noticed that there are a few session files in our acatalog folder

Can i view any information in them?

Every visitor that goes through a cgi-driven link will leave a session file. Its in XML format and there isn't a lot of infomation in them, just the IP address and time and two interesting entries:
LASTPAGE
LASTSHOPPAGE
They show the last shop pages visited.
The file size is an indicator:
~ 600 bytes - just browsing
~ 1500 bytes - something went in a basket
~ 3000 bytes - its probably an order and most of the order details will be in the session file
~ 2400 bytes - probably a previous customer with cookies enabled coming back.
