So with the .htaccess you could enable trans sid. That's interesting to know. I guess you could just use the session and have a session check to require the person to have cookies. Most sites these days seem to require it.. mail.yahoo.com does, if you try and login without cookies you'll get a message. A lot of sites use the trans sid, because it makes it "work" if the user doesn't have cookies.
Thanks for the info Adam

That's sort-of right.
1. PHP would need to be compiled with enable trans sid first
2. You can override SOME php.ini values with a .htaccess file (placed in a directory), but this is NOT a copy of the php.ini, it's a method of overriding values. You'd also need your ISP to grant you permission to run such files. They work from a certain directory down, so if you placed the file in your doc root, it would apply recursivly down to each folder bewlow it.
example:
<IfModule mod_php4.c> php_flag register_globals off php_flag magic_quotes_runtime on php_flag magic_quotes_gpc on </IfModule>
3. You can also override some php.ini values by using things like PHP's ini_set() function in your scripts.
