probably not with a single http request
try to set it in the first request, then try to read it in the second one

Do this :

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

$ref = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

setcookie("test","working");

header ("Location: http://www.yourserver.com/verify_cookies.php?ref=$ref");

exit;

?>

Paste that anytime you wanna verify if cokkies are enabled.

Then save this as a file named verify_cookies.php :

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

$ref = $_GET['ref'];

$test_cookie = $_COOKIE['test'];



if ($test_cookie == "working") {

header ("Location: http://www.yourserver.com/$ref");

} else {

header ("Location: http://www.yourserver.com/youaintgotnocookies.php");

}

exit;

?>

Make modifications where needed.

Very easy (you should have just asked me again Mag)

You don't have to. Ignore the code above, again.

Do this:

echo "<a href='blah.php?'" .SID. ">";

SID is the session ID, and it will only be appended if it's needed (ie, user doesn't have cookies enabled.) Remember, it's not $SID - it's SID.

Cheers,
Backov

Sorry didnt mean to confuse anyone. I misread his post and didnt see the session part before cookie. As Backov said you shouldnt rely on cookies when tracking sessions anyhow ... especially with a built in constant. Above would be how to detect if the user has cookies enabled or not however :1orglaugh
