[phplib] using POST in fall back mode From: David West (westd <email protected>)

Hi,

I'm using PHPLIB for basic session handling. My problem is thus:

I have set the mode to cookie, and fallback mode to GET. What my page does
is submit a form using the POST method with a user's username and password.
This then accesses a MySQL database which picks out some information about
the user. I then use $sess->register() to remember this info. This works
fine with cookies turned on, and with GET set as the $mode.

However, when I use GET as the fallback mode to cookies, and disable cookies
in my browser, a problem arises. When the 302 and location headers are sent
by PHPLIB with the session id as a URL parameter, the original posted
username and password do not appear to be resent, and so I can't get the
information about the user.

Obviously if I change the original form to use GET instead of POST, it'll
work, but I don't want the users password visible in the URL.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

PS. I'm using PHPLIB as a bunch of includes, and I can't change php.ini,
etc. I dunno if this is relevant?
