RE: [PHP-WIN] AW: Sessions

I have any idea but it might be stupid or not possible. Would it be possible to make PHP intelligent with regards sessions? If cookies are disabled (in PHP.INI) or the client has them disabled then PHP automatically includes the SID in the URI (like --enable-trans-sid compiled option) whilst the session is open? This would remove the hassles and confusion for bad programmers like me ;) Comments? (Please don't shout too loud).

SID is a normal constant: <html> <blabla> <a href="link.html<?=SID?>">your SID: <?=SID?></a> btw: you can double check with if(defined("SID")) print SID; and there's a difference between SID and session_id() SID = session_name() .
