Follow Up!! : Sessions in PHP 4.0b2

[Anon]

Apparently my ISP does have session.use_cookies variable in the configuration set to 1 or "true" and my sessions are not being tracked. Help this nerd!

So read the manual about session and how to track them without cookies.

Yes I've the manual and Professional PHP Programming. It says to simply add SID to the query string. It doesn't mention that the data needs to be written to a file. The manual I read on http://www.php.net and I it very vague.

                 Thank You

You don't have to write the data to a file, PHP does that for you.

Just make your links like this:

Outside a PHP code block:

To continue, <A HREF="nextpage.php?<?=SID?>">click here</A>

Inside a php block:

print "<a href=nextpage.php?".SID.">link</a>";

That will pass the SessionID of the currently started sesion to the next script.

Thanks Vincent! I just need to figure out why this doesn't work on Netscape browsers.

What doesn't work?

Netscape browsers allow cookies by default.
If you print the session ID in the url and the browser uses cookies, the session ID in the URL will appear empty.

Please supply me with code you've tested!
