WAP Authentication

vectorian798

Does anyone know how I could have a 'login' system using WAP to authenticate users. I basically want to autheticate users and then proceed with regular PHP code to create the WAP pages.

I think sessions are not possible on a phone right? HELP!!

I read somewhere that URL lengths on many WAP enabled phones (especially older phones) are limited to 128 characters. I think I have URL's that aren't that long even with a session ID in the URL instead of cookies.

So, is it then possible to have sessions work through URL on WAP phones? The session data would still be stored on the server side if I am correct??

Not sure if you have gotten an answer but I found a post by
searching for WAP on this forum that told me about Chapter 16 of
the Wrox book Professional PHP4. It has a shopping cart and it
have a login system.

From the book Professional PHP4 from apress/wrox chapter 16 is
a wap case study. you can download the code from the book
here

Sessions are very much possible on cell phones. Cookies, usually are not.

using sessions in wml is the same as using them elsewhere. If you need to use & in the urls to pass more than one variable, just make sure you use &amp; instead of just &
