Hi Jerry,
Well, I'd like if the SID's propogated . . . I've used
session.use_trans_sid=1, globals=off, and all the right things in php.ini.
The code's all there. But it doesn't work. For example, when the user (with
cookies off) attempts to go from an http page to a secured https page, all
the $_SESSION['whatever_I want_passed] goes bye-bye.
I've attempted to pass this info, but it really barfs on any db SELECT. I've
tried to figure out a workaround, but honestly, is it worth the trouble?
Admittedly, in the past, when I came to a site requiring either cookies or
javascript, I used to switch off. Maybe I'm not as paranoid as I once was,
but now I leave cookies on. And js, well, I really don't like all the fancy
stuff, but if the developer insists . . . So, the bottom line -- as you said
-- it's really up to the user. Their loss, my loss -- their gain, my gain.
If I could figure how to get it to work, (I've left all the '?.sid' stuff in)
I'd use it. But in the meantime, I'll lose some, gain others.
Thanks for replying,
Regards
Andre
