Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] Links to phpGW items

[Patrick J. Walsh (mr_e)]

	These are both good implementations.  We will need something that works 
whether or not cookies are supported though.  And probably whether or not 
the browser supports refferers, although maybe that's common enough to 
gloss over.  I appreciate the suggestions and I may borrow from both.  (Or 
Seek3r might if he jumps on this first -- which is good by me.)
