cookies and sessions

Hi everyone,

I need a solution to getting a japanese cellular phone to work completely with XOOPS when the phones here will not accept cookies. I've asked around and have been told that it could be as simple as changing prefs in php.ini. Or perhaps it might involve a hack with php_session.

I would very much appreciate information on the topic, and paying for the solution is not out of the question.

Re: cookies and sessions

I looked into this a little and found that it should work by default if the user is not accepting cookies, simply by adding the PHPSESSID to the url, except with redirects, where I found this in the PHP Cookbook:
if (defined('SID') && (! isset($_COOKIE[session_name()]))) {
     $redirect_url .= '?' . SID;
}


Would getting XOOPS to work without cookies simply involve changing the redirect_header() function to include something similar to this? A clause to find out if the user is accepting cookies and if not, adding it to the redirect URL?

Thanks for the answer Mithrandir,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. What exactly would your first suggestion of
Quote:

involve as a hack? What file would I be hacking? Please contact me privately if you feel that would be more efficient.

Re: cookies and sessions

Try replacing redirect_header() in include/functions.php with this one:
function redirect_header($url, $time = 3, $message = '', $addredirect = true)
{
    global $xoopsConfig, $xoopsRequestUri;
    if (!defined('XOOPS_CPFUNC_LOADED')) {
        require_once XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/class/template.php';
        $xoopsTpl = new XoopsTpl();
        $xoopsTpl->assign('sitename', $xoopsConfig['sitename']);
        $xoopsTpl->assign('langcode', _LANGCODE);
        $xoopsTpl->assign('charset', _CHARSET);
        $xoopsTpl->assign('time', $time);
        if ($addredirect && strstr($url, 'user.php')) {
            if (!strstr($url, '?')) {
                $url .= '?xoops_redirect='.urlencode($xoopsRequestUri);
            } else {
                $url .= '&xoops_redirect='.urlencode($xoopsRequestUri);
            }
        }
        if (defined('SID') && (! isset($_COOKIE[session_name()]) || ($xoopsConfig['use_mysession'] && $xoopsConfig['session_name'] != '' && !isset($_COOKIE[$xoopsConfig['session_name']])))) {
            if (!strstr($url, '?')) {
                $url .= '?' . SID;                
            }
            else {
                $url .= '&'.SID;
            }
        }
        $url = preg_replace("/&/i", '&', htmlspecialchars($url, ENT_QUOTES));
        $xoopsTpl->assign('url', $url);
        $message = trim($message) != '' ? $message : _TAKINGBACK;
        $xoopsTpl->assign('message', $message);
        $xoopsTpl->assign('lang_ifnotreload', sprintf(_IFNOTRELOAD, $url));
        $GLOBALS['xoopsModuleUpdate'] = 1;
        $xoopsTpl->display('db:system_redirect.html');
        exit();
    } else {
        $url = preg_replace("/&/i", '&', htmlspecialchars($url, ENT_QUOTES));
        echo '
        
        
        '</span><span style="color: #007700">.</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$xoopsConfig</span><span style="color: #007700">[</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'sitename'</span><span style="color: #007700">].</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'
        
        .$time.'; url='.$url.'" />
        
                body {background-color : #fcfcfc; font-size: 12px; font-family: Trebuchet MS,Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px;}
                .redirect {width: 70%; margin: 110px; text-align: center; padding: 15px; border: #e0e0e0 1px solid; color: #666666; background-color: #f6f6f6;}
                .redirect a:link {color: #666666; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold;}
                .redirect a:visited {color: #666666; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold;}
                .redirect a:hover {color: #999999; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;}
        
        
        
        
        
          '.$message.'
          
          

'.sprintf(_IFNOTRELOAD, $url).'


        

        

        
        ';
    }
    exit();
}

Re: cookies and sessions

Just tried my own suggestion as well as blocking cookies from my test site.

I can login and it works, but whenever I click a link, I am logged out again as the session ID is not added to links automatically, which I thought it would be if cookies were disabled. The redirect function works, though...
