I am making a website where users must log in. I want to somehow
remember they are logged in regardless of what links they click on the
site. I've read the best way to do this is to use session variables.
Each page will check to see if a certain session variable exists and
if it does, they are logged in.
I thought this is how all websites with log in pages do it. But then
I read that sesion variables place a cookie on the clients computer.
What happens if the client has cookies turned off? It appears that
session variables will not get saved and if a user clicks on a link
they will be told they are no longer logged in.
What am I missing? How do all the websites out there that require you
to be logged in get around people that have cookies turned off?
Thanks so much for any help you can give!
