Hey everyone,

Hadn’t really thought about this before, but just realized now that a bunch of my stuff won’t work if a user has disabled cookies (I rely on $\_SESSION variables in a contact form, for example, that hold error messages to be displayed if the form wasn’t filled in correctly).

What would be another way to do this without the use of session cookies?
