So basically; what I'm trying to say here is: Yes, you need flash embedded
in _a_ (not _the_) php script (within the same domain of course) to read the
cookie, and Jerry was right. ;)

As a last resort to ommitting flash put in a php file, you could use
javascript to read the cookie and append the PHPSESSID var. But you would
have to rely on the user having javascript turned on. Which is a rather big
no no.

Also, I've been out of webdeveloping for a while, so I'm not sure whether
this is still allowed by the majority of browsers anyway.
