Since cookies are hardly and hardly accepted by users, I need a better way to store session variables. The safest way is to put trigger them from the db, but this still not solve the problem of identifying the user. The first thing that cross my mind was to add a querystring with a session ID. This wouldn't be a problem I was to build a site from scratch. But I want to add this system to all my existing sites, that is hundreds of pages so I wonder If is possible to create a function and put it in an include file and create them on the fly.
Of course, there is a possibility to forge it so I have to make a script to check the validity of it... For instance, I mark the time when user logs in and if it's more than, let's say 60 mins, i force them to log in again and create a new session ID. Also, i need to check each refferer so the user could not just type in the session ID. But this also creates another problem for people who use a firewall that hides the refferer - like I do .
Did I make any sense at all? Any suggestions?
