Hmmmm,
Theory only here:
If there is a GET value of PHPSESSID (or whatever your sessions are named),
then the user is more than likely taking advantage of trans-sid (sid's in
the URLs), and cookies are not available.
So, we only want to append the sid to URLs in a redirect IF the sid is found
in the URL already. If there is no SID in the URL, then perhaps we can
assume it doesn't need to be this time????
<?
// UNTESTED
function redirectWithSession($location)
{
$sid = session_id();
$sname = session_name();
if($_GET[$sname])
{
header("Location: {$location}?{$sname}={$sid}");
}
else
{
header("Location: {$location}");
}
}
?>
Again, please test thoroughly, because I haven't thought through the
instances where this might break something really... maybe there aren't
any!!
