Re: Sessions

Hi, So with the .htaccess you could enable trans sid. That's interesting to know. I guess you could just use the session and have a session check to require the person to have cookies. Most sites these days seem to require it.. mail.yahoo.com does, if you try and login without cookies you'll get a message. A lot of sites use the trans sid, because it makes it "work" if the user doesn't have cookies. Thanks for the info Adam At 03:00 PM 3/22/2003 +1100, Justin French wrote:

If you set your php.ini file to automatically put the session id in ever link on your page, that's great, but what if you don't have access to the php.ini file which is common with shared hosting. I'v read somewhere that you can put a php.ini file with those settings in the current working directory and it will read in the settings from it. Is that true and would you have to put a copy of the ini file in every folder that you used in order for it to work?? That's sort-of right. 1. PHP would need to be compiled with enable trans sid first 2. You can override SOME php.ini values with a .htaccess file (placed in a directory), but this is NOT a copy of the php.ini, it's a method of overriding values. You'd also need your ISP to grant you permission to run such files. They work from a certain directory down, so if you placed the file in your doc root, it would apply recursivly down to each folder bewlow it. example: <IfModule mod_php4.c>

    php_flag register_globals off
    php_flag magic_quotes_runtime on
    php_flag magic_quotes_gpc on

</IfModule> 3. You can also override some php.ini values by using things like PHP's ini_set() function in your scripts. Justin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
