[FX.php List] Do session always work?

[Steve Winter]

Jonathan,

I've also had no problems with using PHP sessions when the browser has
cookies disabled.

I recently built a system which relies heavily on session information, so
I did quite a bit of testing with a 'user' environment which had as much
security as I could apply (no Javascript, no Java, no cookies, pop-up
blocker etc etc) and had no problems with my session information being
available...

Cheers
Steve
