Session restoring problems with other borowsers than IE

[tamole]

when i create a session, i want that an user gets
the same id, that he has go the last time he
visited the page, so:
session_id();
start_session();

it workds with IE. Not always but it also works
with Opera, but with Phoenix or some other
boprwsers i get always a new id 🙁 i can' restore
the old session, if the browser was closed...

session ids are either stored in a cokkie, are passed via url.

thus, with any browser that is set not to accept cookies, there is no way to map the user to the session id anymore once he has left the site.

if you need to recognize all users instead of initializing a new session when they return, you probably won't get around setting up a login system.
