Sessions, Cookies and IE

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

I'm looking for a little advice here.  I've started development for a site on a lamp server, it's been a little while but I'm trying to get a little more in depth in my efforts with PHP here than my previous attempts.

 

I've noticed that I have issues with session cookies specifically with IE as the default security settings have 1st and 3rd party cookies disabled.  I've had a bit of a look into possible ways to get around this which appear to centre around just throwing in the towel and allowing the session ID and variables to be passed as part of the URL.  Due to the security implications I'm VERY reluctant to go down this route. 

 

I've read that there may be a way to force cookie handling on the users machine or possibly some way to hash the url session ID etc. 

 

So the crux of the matter, what in your opinion is the best option in terms of efficient coding and security?  Are the above solutions possible and if so does anybody have a pointer to a decent tutorial on how to implement them?  I've tried using generic cookies but they seem to fall into the same trap due to IE's security settings.

 

Just to note, I've no issue at all in Chrome or Mozilla with regards to this.
