PHP Session Maintenance when cookies are disabled

6 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/php-session-maintenance-when-cookies-are-disabled.140229/

Hello friends!

I am new to PHP programming and developing a small website project. In this project I have login for users and I am maintaining session for user's login.

But I have problem with login when cokkies are disabled.

Please suggest me any solution to maintain session when cokkies are disabled at users end or any suggestion so that I can inform user that his/her browser's cokkies are disabled.

Write a test cookie and see if you can read it. If not, inform user that cookie is disabled.

you need to create a table to store the session and its timeout and cross check with the clients session ID. a detailed info can be found here...
