Force a cookie to turn on

Saiful:

I doubt that you are going to be able to get a browser to accept cookies if
the user has that disabled... This is a security setting within the browser
to prevent "tampering" by unethical webmasters.

If you CANNOT function without cookies, I recommend that you set a cookie
and request it immediately. If you get a negative response, you will know
that the user is NOT accepting cookies and you can exclude them from your
site...(if that is your wish.)

I, personally, know of VERY few sites that NEED cookies enabled in order to
function. Perhaps, if you could let us know what you would want to achieve,
we could suggest a way of achieving your goals without requiring cookies.

I am actually contemplating a site that would use cookies to store financial
information, but if cookies were disabled, that information would just need
to be reentered if recalculation were deemed necessary. The nice thing
about a cookie is that it IS stored on the CLIENT computer, but there are
almost always, many ways of achieving the same goal.

Just a thought...
