If you used session_start() and related functions, you have
options to use server files, server memory, or a custom handler
to store your session variables - rather than cookies. It might 
only be a matter of editing php.ini.

I thought this was covered quite well in "Web Database 
Applications with PHP & MySQL" by Williams & Lane (O'Reilly). 
They even have an appendix on how to write your own handler to 
store your session vars in a database.

The chapter covering Sessions is online:
