James, While the mentioned bookmarketlets likely work, there are many widely available browser extensions for Xdebug, ZendDebugger, and the one I use, DBG that mitigate any need for such support in your sites codebase.
With an extension installed you simply click a button or other accessible means in-browser to append the session start/end strings. Most of these extensions include many features beyond session-tagging such as profiling on/off, and this-page/next-page/next-POST session start choices, etc. Here are a handful of such useful freebies (including the one I did for DBG for Chrome): * FF easy Xdebug: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/58688/ * FF vimxdebug: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/181743/ * FF DBGbar: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3227/ * Chrome/Chromium Xdebug helper: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/eadndfjplgieldjbigjakmdgkmoaaaoc * Chrome/Chromium DBG helper: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/hfmakegkfgkoaeoligncjmnklkdmdjin I forked Xdebug helper to scratch my own itch for a DBG version. Zend provides similar extensions for their debugger for PDT/ZS. And any browser extensions not mentioned are mostly covered by the IDE developer/publisher providing such accessories directly such as for IE, etc. I can't remember and a quick search did not turn up what I used for Xdebug session handling under IE but I seem to recall that it was a bookmarklet-type solution rather than a packaged add-on. I am sure you will find the bookmarklet or easy Xdebug, Xdebug helper, or other extension all that you need. --Sohodojo Jim-- ================== From: development-boun...@drupal.org [mailto:development-boun...@drupal.org] On Behalf Of James Benstead Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 7:44 AM To: development@drupal.org Subject: Re: [development] Module proposal: Append ?XDEBUG_SESSION_START to allsite URLs Sun, Richard: thanks - I'll use the bookmarklet :) On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 1:36 PM, Richard Burford <li...@freestylesystems.co.uk> wrote: Seriously, listen to sun.

Or is there a module that already provides this functionality?
