Re: Checking for cookies/session_existance.. very basic.

You probably have --enable-trans-sid enabled when you compiled php, thus when sessions are created they will first try cookies, if this fails it will automaticaly try adding PHPSESSID= to all your links. if you ONLY want to use cookie's try the setcookie() command. http://www.php.net/manual/function.setcookie.php <? if (!isset($done)) { $CookieID = time(); $Exp = time() + 2592000 ; setcookie("CookieID", $CookieID, $Exp, "/", ".somesite.com"); header("Location: http://$SERVER_NAME$PHP_SELF?done=1"); exit(); } else { if (isset($CookieID)) echo "Damn Cookies<br>\n"; else echo "Great no cookie support<br>\n"; } ?> Now onto other business, just for curiousity why do you say that if the user can't use cookie's that your site is insecure? you know that cookie values are stored localy on the clients computer and can be very very easily changed right.? in netscape and IE their plain text files. just open in notepad and change the value, restart your broser, and your done :) I use setcookie() rarly and much prefer sessions. I would like more information on why you say this.
