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.
