    PHP Session Problem

    Hello,

    When I use Session in my php code, the first time a session is
    establish, every link on that page (where the session starts)
    contains the PHPSESSID in the query.

    For example:
    session.php?PHP SESSID=d3994a59 1c42b9d3bba48ae 654341482

    If we follow the link, the PHPSESSID disapears, which makes sence to me
    because the ID was added as a "cookie" to the browser and there is no
    need to continue to be in the URL.

    My question is, can I avoid this? (because of search engines)

    I have tried in 3 different hosts and it happens in all of them. Except
    in my localhost machine, don't know the reason why.

    Can someone help me?

    Here is the code. Just paste it in a file named session.php

    <?php
    session_start() ;
    print "<html><a href=\"session. php\">Test the problem</a></html>";
    ?>

    Thanks,
    Fred

      Try one or both of these:

      ini_set('sessio n.use_trans_sid ', '0');
      ini_set('sessio n.use_only_cook ies', '1');
      [color=blue]
      > session_start() ;
      > print "<html><a href=\"session. php\">Test the problem</a></html>";
      > ?>[/color]

          Dear Pedro,

          I have tried your sugestion.

          It works on PHP Version 4.2.3 but NOT on the recent Version 4.3.9.
          Bad luck for me, because what I want is in Version 4.3.9
          Any other ideas? :(

          Thank you,
          Fred

              Hello,

              So, I tried with ini_set("url_re writer.tags","" ); and it worked.

              http://martin.f2o.org/php/session, this page has it all.

              Thanks for the help anyway. Could not have done it without you.
              Regards,
              Fred
