[Resolved] cookies or not?

[hermzz]

How do I know if the user veiwing my webpage uses cookies or not?

The problem is that I want to build a login sort of thing. If the user uses cookies I just save the info to it, but if he doesn't then I have to put the session_id in the url. I could do both but I'd have a redundant system, and besides I know that there is a way.

Try to login this forum with and without cookies and you'll notice that if you do without them they'll put the session id on the url but if you do have cookies enabled then it won't appear.

Only way I can think to really check if they're using cookies is to set one and try to read it. If you can read it, they use cookies. If not, they don't.

That was rather obvious, though it didn't occur to me. I was hoping there was a function or something...

Oh well. I'll just have to get coding. 😃

Thanks a lot
