When visitor's browser has cookies disabled

Is it possible/good to use ENV variables instead of cookies when visitor's browser has cookies disabled?
I.e. if my cookie isn't set i set up an environment variable with putenv and then get its value with getenv. Or it's a bad practice?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think that'll work.

Just pass the values thru as hidden fields or attach them to the workstring. You can either setup two functions to do this for you, or I believe PHP has an option to add name/value pairs to your URLs.

Yes, you are right, this doesn't work on our server but this works on my home pc Apache. Are there any settings which i could set up in order to enable it on our hosting server?
Thanks.

remember that on your home pc you have the client and the server operating on the same machine, it changes the actual environment.

Thanks a lot.
I understood that it's a wrong approach.
