Testing session without cookies

[zoobie]

I'm kindofa sessions newB. How would I specifically go about testing my session if the user has turned off their cookies? No database is involved.
Thanks

If you are using sessions, and cookies are turned off, you will have a session_id in the URL called "sid." Simply do a $_GET['sid'] and if it returns a value, the user's browser could not set a cookie.

Beware, however -- sometimes it will be there even if the user has cookies turned on. This is NOT an indication that cookies are disabled, so don't rely on it for this.

Well, I've since read I should append the url with

 [url]http://return_page.php[/url]<?=session_id();?>

...but it's a php page I'm returning to with form data.

You haven't stated a problem... are you having a problem?

Note that there is also a constant named SID, which is designed to be tacked onto URLs.

How does the SID go? Thanks

Plenty of info. You'll see SID mentioned there (under "Predefined Constants").
