Hi there
I have a problem with sessions at the moment. My aim is to be able to use sessions with out getting those ugly url's.
In my php.ini session.use_trans_sid is on and session.use_cookies is on. I'm using ini_set("url_rewriter.tags",""); to stop the server from creating url's with PHPSESSID=bunchofrandomnumbersandlettershere which works perfectly. The thing is that if a user is not accepting cookies then a session isn't saved and I'm not entirely sure why.
First page has the following code
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<body>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="session02.php">
<p><label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" /></p>
<p><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>Second page
<?php
ini_set("url_rewriter.tags","");
// initiate session
session_start();
// check that form has been submitted and that name is not empty
if ($_POST && !empty($_POST['name'])) {
// set session variable
$_SESSION['user'] = $_POST['name'];
}
?>

}
else {

echo 'Who are you? <a href="session01.php">Login</a>';
}
?>

<?php
ini_set("url_rewriter.tags","");
session_start();
ob_start();
?>

<body>
<?php
// check whether session variable is set
if (isset($_SESSION['user'])) {
// if set, greet by name
echo 'Hi, '.$_SESSION['user'].'. See, I remembered your name!<br />';
// unset session variable
unset($_SESSION['user']);
// invalidate the session cookie
if (isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) {
setcookie(session_name(), '', time()-86400, '/');
}
ob_end_flush();
// end session
session_destroy();
echo '<a href="session02.php">Page 2</a>';
}
else {
// display if not recognized
echo 'Sorry, I don\'t know you.<br />';
echo '<a href="session01.php">Login</a>';
}
?>
</body>
</html>Bottom line is I'd like to be able to store sessions if someone isn't accepting cookies.
