Thanks to Emile and Armand for the quick response to my questions.
I've worked more with the session support in php4 than php_lib, but as I
understand it, php_lib's cookie-less session support is pretty
straightforward. Php4 can be compiled to automatically handle having the Uid
in the query string, which would be a nice feature, however, even if php_lib
cannot, its not too hard to write the value in and retrieve it as needed -
I've been doing it with ASP for ages.
How about security - is authentication handled with cookies and apache's
native methods as well, or is there a more robust solution available from
within Midgard? (don't misunderstand me, I'm very impressed with the product
and support, and plan to implement it in several upcoming applications - I'm
just a demanding user, I suppose :)
Thanks Again
