rempires Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 how do you make cookie less session, i thought it could be done by setting this in the php.ini session.use_trans_sid = 1 but apparently it still doesn't work without cookies, is there anything else i have to do?

mmarif4u Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Did u mean by cookie less to use sessions without cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 You would need to turn off session cookies as well - session.use_cookies = off Turning on session.use_trans_sid only enables the transparent sid, it does not force it to be used. You also must only use relative URL's as an absolute URL, even to your own site, will prevent the SID from being appended to the URL. If it still does not work check what the actual values are using a phpinfo(); statement. It is possible that the php.ini that you are changing is not the one that php is using. I also assume that you stopped and started you web server to get any changes made to php.ini to take effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rameshfaj Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Only using session may not set the cookie, I think so.But it is not good idea to edit the php.ini file because u are not always allowed to do so when you are working in the server.

rempires Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 what you mean mate tell us more cookie less i'm trying to maintain session state even when the user has cookies turned off. infact if you disable cookies in this very forum you can still log on and do everything. You would need to turn off session cookies as well - session.use_cookies = off Turning on session.use_trans_sid only enables the transparent sid, it does not force it to be used. You also must only use relative URL's as an absolute URL, even to your own site, will prevent the SID from being appended to the URL. i only sue relative URL's so no problem there but as for session.use_cookies = of, wouldn't that turn off coookes no matter what? i would prefer session state to use cookies and only resort to cookiless session if the user won't allow cookies Only using session may not set the cookie, I think so.But it is not good idea to edit the php.ini file because u are not always allowed to do so when you are working in the server. actually i am hosted on a shared server, but the administrator told me that if i put a file called php.inin in each and every directory i want the settings applied, that file will override the master php.ini defaults. I guess he had a lot of people asking for different things or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I only suggested that you turn off the session.use_cookies parameter because you stated you wanted to use cookieless sessions. You did not state you wanted to use cookies and the optional trans sid until your last post. We only see the information you post and the answers can not be any better than the questions that are asked. Since you actually want to use cookies and the trans sid when cookies are not accepted by the visitor, turn session.use_only_cookies off. If session.use_trans_sid = on and session.use_only_cookies = off does not cause the SID to be passed on the end of the URL, make sure what the values actually are using a phpinfo(); statement in a .php file.

revraz Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 You need a session save path to be set. Also, try setting session use cookies to off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Assuming that sessions are configured and working, the posted settings work for me when I configure my browser to not accept cookies. Did you exit your browser after your turned off cookies and the re-browse to the first page where the session is started? Otherwise, php won't know to place the SID on the end of the url. Check your web server log for errors and post your code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revraz Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Not sure how that config could work without a session save path defined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rempires Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Thanks everyone, those fixes did it. Know i just gotta figure out how to append the URL of a header("location /blah.php"); as i noticed php doesn't auto-append these . i'll probably just make a function that checks if a cookie was set, if so then don't append it. special thanks for revraz and PFMaBiSmAd for your quick and helpful responses, i owe you guys john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
