session not working w/o cookie?

[Anon]

I am trying to setup a session -- it works fine with cookies are enabled (session file in /php/tmp has the serialized variables), but when they are disabled, the session file (/php/tmp) does not contain any data.

When cookies are disabled, PHP will generate a SID and will create a session file in the /tmp folder, but simply does not write variables to it.

Thanks for any suggestions.

With cookies disabled, you have to maintain the SessionID with the user's browser. Otherwise it's useless and no variables can be attached.

If you want to work with browsers with cookies disabled, you can always pass the SessionID in the query string.
Your pages should look like:

File.php?SID=$PHPSESSID
