I have a PHP site where 20% of visitors do not have cookie support.

How can I offer both URL-based and Cookie-based Session Tracking depending on Cookie Support?

In other words, if the user accepts cookies, then we use cookie-based Session Tracking. But if they do not, then we switch to URL-based Session Tracking so that those users can still utilize the site.

I do not want to lose 20% of my users and I do not want a site that is 100% based on URL Session Tracking as that not only poses a security risk but also certain limitations that I don’t want the other 80% of users to have to endure.

    PHP pretty much does the job for you automatically. It will append the session ID to all links if no cookie can be used. This should work out-of-the box with any default PHP installation.
