[PHP] Cookies disabled, new session ID each click!
I posted this but not sure Google works, so using my own account as it
did not show up yet.
I am fairly new to PHP, and am running a shopping cart app written in
PHP. Most people using this cart do not have this issue, but I do!
I have boiled the program down to a few lines, and it doesn't work. When
you click on the link in the code, it gives you a session ID. Then, when
you click again, it goes away. The SID appears to be blank every other time.
Why would that be? I am using PHP 4.2.0 and 4.2.2, BSD and Linux, and
Apache 1.3.20 something. Two different hosts. Same result. Client is
IE5.5 with cookies disabled, running on NT. New session file is
generated even though one already existed. This happens every other
click as SID is blank every other click.
Please help me understand what the issue is.

Re: [PHP] Cookies disabled, new session ID each click!
Not using trans_sid, but it is set for this example and it doesn't matter either way, intentionally putting the SID on the link myself, this is the way the vendor software is set up. So, I want someone to run this example, and see if it works for them, and if it does, what might be the reason it does not work for me? Steve Chris Shiflett wrote: Steve, Check your php.ini file. PHP uses cookies for maintaining your Web client's unique ID, and unless you have use_trans_sid set, it will not attempt to pass the unique ID on the URL for those who have cookies disabled.

Oleg and anyone else, PLEASE READ THE POST.
This is vendor software, this is what it does, it doesn't matter if it's
the way you would do it, if it is the best way, or anything else. So,
please tell me why the short program I uploaded as an example does or
does not work for you.

If you want to see a site where the small program works (and be SURE and
turn cookies off), click here:
http://www.thewebmakerscorner.com/snapmods_new/default_test.php
So, can anyone tell me why it does not work on MY site(s)? Any ideas?
Surely this is a PHP configuration issue/bug perhaps? Logically, I don't
see any settings that could possibly affect the outcome using this
technique.

Re: [PHP] Re: Cookies disabled, new session ID each click!
What you describe is what SHOULD happen and does on that web site, that does NOT happen on my web site, with the exact same code I posted in the original message. So, the question remains, what would cause the SID to be blank every other click? Yes, I have also used Netscape on Linux to connect to the same machine without cookies, same result.

First time I go into that page, my URL shows this http://www.thewebmakerscorner.com/snapmods_new/default_test.php Clicking on the link appends the session id to the URL. As does clicking on the link again (same session id). Ad infinitum. So basically it works? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
