AW: [PHP] Sessions w/o cookies and the "Back" button

that should only work if you have control over apache (or the webserver) and can force it to open index.php instead of index.html. in most cases you will have that chance, but not if you are doomed to be hosted by stupid ISPs by your customer/employer otherwise the dirty META_REFRESH is your only chance (as far as i know...) sebastian > Well, the nice thing with this approach is, you can embed the > SID in the > url for the index page (since you are redirecting to that page). > > Actually, if you don't mind the ugly SID in the URL, you can skip the > redirection to the index page and just redirect to the same > page with an > SID appended to the URL.
