From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Please use reception of *any* cookie to signal PHP that cookies are enabled
This is just a simple request. When you visit a PHP site using sessions, on the first page view the PHPSESSID appears in all URLs, because at that point PHP supposedly does not know whether cookies are enabled. However, if the site had, on an earlier visit, set a long-term cookie (with some dummy value), then now on my first page-view of a session, the PHP site should be able to know that cookies are enabled, since this one long-term cookie would have been sent. Currently, PHP doesn't allow this -- it only checks for the PHPSESSID cookie. I think it would be an easy change, and make many people happy, to simply have it check whether any cookie was received by the server, and if so then take that as a sign that cookies are enabled and thus don't modify the links on the page. Perhaps this could be an option in the php.ini if you were worried it is not safe enough.
