Sessions / Turning Cookies Off

[sKunKbad]

I have a script on a godaddy server, and it uses a session, and works fine unless I turn cookies off. Maybe I am wrong, but in theory, I thought that if I turned off cookies in the browser I am testing with, that php would automatically use some other way to store the session information. Unfortunately, when I turn cookies off in the browser, the script does not continue to work. I checked the phpinfo(), and the session.save_path is set to /tmp. I tried adding

session_save_path("/home/content/a/b/c/abc/html/tmp");

before my call for the session to start, but it doesn't help.

Am I wrong about sessions working if cookies are turned off?

no... servers first store the cookie on the browser, then relate to it every time...

you can do a simple test first...?

 

setcookie("test","test",time()+3600);

if(empty($_COOKIE[test])){

echo 'Please enable cookies!';

}

So, if cookies are turned off, the session will never work?

See session.use_trans_sid in the PHP session reference.  PHP (or you) can put the session ID in URLs if cookies are not enabled/supported.
