Can session variables be set in a plain HTML file (e.g., with meta tags)?
(I've been looking, and I haven't found a way to do this, so I'm
guessing it is not possible. ??)
I am trying to control access to images on my web site by setting a
session variable on pages that contain <img> tags. I have already
converted to using a php script in place of the image file name as the
src attribute to serve the images. I'd like the Php script to verify
that a session variable has been set first. The problem is that these
HTML files all predate my usage of Php, so they are all plain HTML
files. That's why I am wondering if it is possible to set a session
variable in "plain" HTML (I'd like to avoid cookies as they can be denied).
I'm pretty sure that I can use an .htaccess file to redirect all HTML
files - in that directory - to a php script that sets a session var and
then redirects to the HTML file, but I wondered if there was a simpler
method that allows me to set session variables from within a plain HTML
file.
