I've been thinking about how to do authentication and user recognition for my site without cookies. I had this idea but I don't really know if its possible at all. If I got the IP address from the request could I use ARP to get the MAC address for that IP? If so I could compare that MAC address with a (previously obtained) database of addresses and if it matches they would automatically be logged in. So I could preauthorize my friends and remember other users once they have signed up.
It seemed like a cool idea but is this at all possible or am I just insane? Thanks, Leo -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
