1. If you do turn on session.auto_start then you cannot put objects into your sessions since the class definition has to be loaded before starting the session in order to recreate the objects in your session. but the official php manual suggests a workaround... http://in2.php.net/manual/en/intro.session.php 2. if u use session.auto_start u'll not be able to use named sessions. but since you have access to php.ini i dont think that will be much of a problem. 3. url may look messy if the client does not support cookies.... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
