HI Ramon,
Thanks for the link and info. I am using Firefox for my testing.
Although each of the issues described under that link are very
interesting, I'm don't think any are relevant to this issue.
Two points which I mentioned earlier and I feel are important to pin
pointing the problem:
1. The stand alone PHP script (shown in my original message) works.
PHP appends the session to the link as it renders the page and the
browser obviously passes this back (as really its just a URL
parameter that happens to be called PHPSESSID).
2. When testing through the framework, PHP is *not* appending the
PHPSESSID to links rendered in my view.
Many thanks, Greg.

Hi Greg,
This could have something to do with the security within the
browser. I had the same kind of issue where the PHP session ID
wasn't resent to the server by the browser, but only in IE. FireFox
worked fine. I also use local url's with entries in the local hosts
file, and I figured out that when using underscores in the domain
name, IE rejects the header.
Here's a longer list of reasons why this can occur:

Hope this helps..

Hi all,
I have a requirement to implement sessions on 'part' of a site.
As the session is not required for the majority of pages, I am
only calling Zend_Session::start() in the init() method of the
controller which controls all the pages which require the session.
The problem is that my client wants the site to be usable with
cookies disabled. I appreciate all the security concerns, this is
another issue! So, I have to use session ID's passed in the URL.
This is what I have done:
A section in my config file:
[session]
use_cookies = off
use_only_cookies = off
strict = on
use_trans_sid = 1
Then as part of the bootstrap process:
// Setup session options
if ($config->session) {
Zend_Session::setOptions($config->session->toArray());
}
So we should now have the Zend_Session configured correctly. Then
I have a controller called book with the following functions:
public function init() {
// Start the session
Zend_Session::start();
}
public function indexAction() {
// Just let the view render for now
}
Please note that I am using the ViewRenderer helper. In the view:
<p>in book/index with session <?=SID?></p>
<a href='/book'/'>link</a>
The URL I use on my local machine for the project is http://
wetb.nidd.local/. So, if i try http://wetb.nidd.local/book/, I
see something like:
in book/index with session PHPSESSID=e52d7461d4d021298ccb2e77316d3cba
link
But here is the problem: each time I refresh the page or click the
'link', I get a different session ID. In addition, the PHPSESSID
is not getting appended to the link I put in my view.
I have also tried setting the session parameter directly in my
php.ini file. The following straight php script:
<?php
session_start();
echo "<a href='sesstest.php'>link</a>";
echo SID;
?>
Gives the results I would expect, with the PHPSESSID appended to
my link and same session id displayed on each click of the link or
page refresh.
I would much appreciate any hints or tips that could be provided
to get URL based session working in my project.
Many thanks, Greg Frith.
Many thanks,
