[SOLVED] session_start() and cookie question

[webref.eu]

I see that session_start() will automatically drop a cookie onto my computer.  What happens if I've set my computer to reject cookies? 

 

Thanks for any comments.

A session will exist as long as the browser propagates the session id between pages and the matching session data exists on the web server.

 

The default operation is that the session id is propagated using a cookie. If you turn cookies off, the default session operation won't work. There is an alternative method and that is to pass the session id on the end of the URL.

 

As always, please read the relevant section in the php manual to get all the information - http://us3.php.net/manual/en/session.idpassing.php

One other question.  I'm writing a script for user reviews.  Do you think if I insist that cookies are turned on for them to be able to post a review this will be workable, i.e. I won't alienate too many potential users?

 

Thanks
