When I test on a browser with cookies disabled, I imagine I'll find that I
have to do that. That's okay, though.

Because (for example) you can't have a button on your page that adjusts a
property (represented as a PHP session variable) of some object on a page.
Instead, you have to use GET variables, PUT variables or cookies to pass
data to the next page.
GET variables seem to be the best choice for non-form items. The problem
with GET variables is that, normally, you see them in the address bar. This
is user-unfriendly, allows people to bookmark URLs that won't work outside
of their session, etc. Today alone, 3 out of 4 URLs that people IM'd me
didn't work, because they were filled with session-specific properties.

My Invisible GET method avoids all of this.
