That is pretty much it. On the first page request to your application, if
PHP encounters a session_start() in your code, it will return a cookie named
PHPSESSID in the response headers. So you need to look for that cookie in
the request for the *second* page. If cookies are enabled in the browser,
the browser will return the cookie in the next request. Here's some code to
put at the top of the 2nd page:
<?php
function check_cookies() {
global $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS;
if(!$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["PHPSESSID"]) {
header("Location: ./cookie_error.php");
exit();
}
}
?>
I usually make my index.php page just set up the session, etc., then do an
automatic redirect to my second page, which is the first visible page. I put
the cookie check on this second page.
