According to the OP, using cookies did not work for some people. Someone suggested using sessions, as I pointed out in my previous mail, sessions still rely on the browser accepting them (unless you use trans sid). In tests that we did quite a while ago (back in 4.0.6) we found that trans sid wasn't 100% reliable (fails in mid-session under some circumstances), this problem may have been fixed since so YMMV. My opinion is that it's a simpler and more direct approach to have a statement like "To login your browser must accept cookies" rather than "You can try to login without cookies, sometimes it may work, sometimes it may fail, sometimes you may get logged out for no apparent reason, in these cases please enable cookies on your browser" :) -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* /usr/news/gotcha */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
