Hello List,
I'm trying to figure the best method to see if cookies are enabled before proceeding.
So what I've done is this:
METHOD 1:
see if a certain cookie exists and if not set it
then later on teste for the cookie again
it will not be set because the headers just set it
so while the browser now has one it is not returned
to the same script that set it so this way is no go
METHOD 2:
if(param('cookie_should_be_set')) {
test for cookie and if not defined die you need cookies
} else {
see if a certain cookie exists and if not set it
and print a Location header to self_url with
cookie_should_be_set=1 appended
}
Method 2 works but I'm looking for the best way to test it with each request, in case
they turn cookies off and then click a link or something. And doing a Location:
$self_url everytime isn't desireable and setting one cookie and testing it over and
over sounds good but sometimes browsers will still return a cookie even thought
cookies are disabled/blocked/off so that will show it has a cookie but wonb't tell me
if it can successfully set others.
The best I can come up with so far is METHOD 2 with the cookie life set to a few
minutes so it only has to do the Location: ... Bit once evr few minutes instead of
every single request.
Any other ideas/modules I'm missing?
