Question

I have a problem with an ecommerce system i built for a client, some of the orders are coming up blank. I have added code to check whether sessions are being set and they are not being set on some orders which is why its coming up blank.

The reason I use sessions is to store the order info

eg: $_SESSION['data']=$_POST;

I can only assume the users have cookies disabled in their browsers and would like to know how I can get around this.

What I would like to do is check if cookies are enabled if not send the session id via $_GET, but how do I access $_SESSION['data'] using the session ID?

So my questions are:

How do I check if cookies are enabled and if not send session id via get and how do I access $_SESSION['data'] using the session id?

Answer 1

You’ll have to open your session manager manually, using, for example

<?
session_id($_GET['session_id']); 
session_start();
//you can now acccess $_SESSION['data']
