More than that, in the "real world", lots of people don't accept cookies for various reason (older browsers, paranoia). I'm working on a very large ecommerce site. One of our directives to reach a maximum office is to allow cookies and javascript as a convenience, but do not require their use for the site to work. As much as I like them, we cannot assume all users will have them enabled. I like the use of authentication, but there is no way currently to do this on our site (at least until a mod_auth_oracle comes along). I'm of the opinion that session management is probably best implemented outside core PHP, possibly as a series of class libraries. I don't see how one general implementation will be usable by all. -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
