Session_Start() turns Privacy Police cookies "on" in IE6 ?!

rdmfs

Hi,

There has been a lot of discussion on sessions, and I know I should be using them (Setting up forums & cardservices).

But when testing sessions, I found out the session data is not stored on the server (Basically: I switched of cookies, and the routine quit working)

I use the following example code in the login.php:

before html tag:

<?php
session_start();
session_register("login_status");
session_register("login_utilizador");

if($login_status == 1){
echo "<script>location.href='logado.php'</script>";
}

$login_status = 0;
?>

then in the middle of the code:

if ($utilizador->verificarUtilizador($login, $password)==true) {
$login_status = 1;
$login_utilizador = "$login";

echo "<script>location.href='logado.php'</script>";

} else {
echo "<script>location.href='errologin.php'</script>";
}

If i don't turn on to accept all the cookies in the IE 6, the Login doesn't work, appearing the Privacy Police icon on the right side of the Status Bar, at the bottom, saying "cookies blocked".

But the only thing i am using is this code above... :/

Any ideas? Thank you... this code page is in http://www.rubensalgueiro.com/login.php

sessions are stored on the server, but without enabling cookies, you have no reference to the cookie for that particular user as a cookie containg the sessionID is placed on the client machine....

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php read the manual to get a better idea of how they work and how make it work if cookies are not available...(like including the sessionID ina hidden form element on every page or passing the sessionID in the URL)
