This coding will lose the session in any browser which is not accepting cookies. To
properly allow for this, you should manually insert the SID constant in your redirect
URL. Also, the HTTP protocol specifies that the value of the "Location:" header must
be an absolute URL, so your header call should be:
header ('Location: http://your.site.name.here/index.php?'.SID);
If cookies are being accepted in the current session, SID will evaluate to the empty
string; otherwise, it will insert the necessary name=value pair.
Cheers!
