"allow per session cookies(not stored)" will enable cookies, IE just does some garbage collection when its closed thats all. so php realizes that IE is accepting cookies in this case and uses cookies vs trans-sid. disable all cookies in IE, and restart. goto the page your testing, you should see that in the HTML php has appended ?PHPSESSID=[PHPSESSID] to all urls and <input type=hidden name=PHPSESSID value=[PHPSESSID]> to all forms. php strangley enough ONLY does this if your urls are not absolute, ie. echo "<a href='index.php'>index<a/>\n"; will have the PHPSESSID added, and echo "<a href='http://somesite.com/index.php'>index<a/>\n"; will NOT have the PHPSESSID added. make sure of course too that session_start() is called from in your code too. else your not using sessions :) Chris Lee Mediawaveonline.com ""Boget, Chris"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I know that if you compile PHP4 with --enable-trans-sid > (as we have), it will automagically append SID to all href > links.
