ILMV Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 No more dangerous than a browser blocking the use of cookies... I have never had a problem with it. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/157203-php-session/#findComment-828338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Also if the browser does block the session cookie, normally it's passed through the URL instead. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/157203-php-session/#findComment-828339 Share on other sites More sharing options...
orange08 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Quote Also if the browser does block the session cookie, normally it's passed through the URL instead. can you please explain a bit about 'normally it's passed through the URL instead'? i can't understand what you meant here...thanks in the case the browser block the session, it's because of user make this setting to browser or browser block the session itself?

Ken2k7 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 You can pass a session id or a session key through the URL and use $_GET to retrieve it. Of course, it must be very unique so someone can't just guess it.

premiso Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I always use sessions. The way users block sessions is by having cookies turned off or disabled. I do not think you should worry about this, at that is a small amount of users and they tend to know it is an issue. Alternatively, you can configure apache/.htaccess to append the sessionid to GET data, which is not SEO friendly but would allow anyone browsing to not have cookies turned on. But as stated above, it is really not an issue at all. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/157203-php-session/#findComment-828573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
