[FX.php List] Do session always work?

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Did a quick test.  I turned off cookies on my own browser and got the 
same results reported from others.

Then, I quickly switch from POST to GET (without any other changes) 
in the first couple of pages and it seemed to work as advertised. 
Need to take a closed look to be sure.

That being said, how do you implement this?  With two complete sets 
of pages: one with POST and ONE with GET and a test to determine 
which to use?   Or... If statements within a single set of pages to 
execute GET or POST, depending on a browser test?

Or...simply use a browser test and then request/require users to turn 
on cookies to proceed, and use a single pure set of pages that 
require session cookies?
