[PhpHelpdesk-devel] Cookie-less logins

[Bosko <fa...@us...>]

Hey everybody,

Having implemented PHPHelpdesk at 3 different sites I know the keyboard-pounding frustration of having IE simply not accept certain cookies PHPHelpdesk sends out on one machine while merrily accepting cookies sent from another machine. I also know the strange feeling you get in your stomach when IE works fine w/ PHPHelpdesk one day, and the next day it refuses all of PHPHelpdesk's cookies and refuses to function.

Although there are many good and handy suggestions on these cookie and IE issues scattered all over PHPHelpdesk's online forums, there is no (at least to my knowledge) single solution that is the Right Thing to Do (tm). So I propose an easy and relativly painless work-around that will probably allow more browsers and WWW software to work with PHPHelpdesk: lets implement an option where current user logins are stored in variable sessions passed in the URL, and not cookies. 

Anyone have any ideas or comments? I am relativily skilled in PHP so I would be willing to help with this on the coding and implementation part, and I'd probably want to get this done soon. Comments?
