The following code is a nice simple way to check for cookie support without needing any intermediary pages to check it has been set. // Set the name of the cookie (nicer than default name) session_name("SID"); // Set cookie to expire way into the future so it persists session_set_cookie_params (60*60*24*365*10, '/', '.mydomain.com',0); session_start(); if ( SID != "" ) { header("Location: /nocookie.php"); exit(); } If you would also like to check for a certain value (e.g. to see if they are logged in) you could use this code instead: session_name("SID"); session_set_cookie_params (60*60*24*365*10, '/', '.mydomain.com',0); session_start(); if ( SID != "" ) { header("Location: /nocookie.php"); exit(); } else { if (!(isset($_SESSION['uid']))) { header("Location: /expired.php"); exit(); } } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42541 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42541&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42541&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
