> How do you detect if the browser has cookies enabled? The PHPLib way seems to be that it always sends the session ID with the URL at the first request, while also sending a cookie. Then at subsequent requests, it checks whether the cookie was received. If yes, it doesn't need the URL session ID so it stops sending it. If no, it continues sending the session ID in the URL. Somehow it also manages to recover when cookies are turned off in the middle of the session. I'm not sure how. The session management built into PHP 4 is a different beast; I'm not sure what it does. -- -Mike (Iron) Orr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if mail problems: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://iron.cx/ English * Esperanto * Russkiy * Deutsch * Espan~ol _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
