Hi,

  I have a situation where the clients do not have cookies enabled and
I have to authenticate through forms.

"Authentication through forms" is not the way that HTTP authentication
works. If you would be doing HTTP authentication*
You do need cookies then or you can use a special 'session id' option in
the tag.

You might want to read eg http://ch2.php.net/session as an example.
PHP uses PHPSESSID=<id> in every url, which is the big disadvantage,
unless you have something to include it when you output to the user
again.

Greets,
