It's a miniscule hit in all but the most contrived of circumstances. Even the most complex websites are rarely more than 4 or 5 levels below DOcumentRoot. with using .htaccess and if you have the ability dont use it and turn it off if you arn't using it. I have to disagree. I thin the convenience of it is well worth the effort. I can edit my htaccess via a webdav mount, for example. That's rather harder to do to /etc/httpd/vhosts/domain.tld.conf I also prefer to put custom php directives into htaccess, but that's probably just my personal preference. It's nice to know that if I backup a site though, I have ALL of the site and don't have to go check what the virtualhost configuration says. -- Hi, I'm Gary Cooper, but not the Gary Cooper that's dead. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

So I put this in an .htaccess file: php_value session.use_trans_sid 1 If both Cookies and trans_sid are on and if your browser accepts cookies, you won't see the SID in the URL, I don't think... So are you SURE it's not on, or you just think it's not? What does ?php phpinfo();? say in that directory for Master/Local values of trans_sid (Local == in that dir) If that's not it, then you need to be sure .htaccess is enabled in httpd.conf (performance penalty -- be sure you understand this on high-volume server) There are probably more esoteric things that can go wrong, but that's all I can think of right now. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I agree, I just found several uses for .htaccess that I can not live without -- it's great. What references would you recommend? Well, I've really just used the apache docs, myself. I've had quite a lot of fun getting pages looking a certain way with no html code (using htaccess to customize the index page). For example, on my intranet web server I have some episode summaries for a few TV shows, and the .htacess for the root folder of those summaries is: Options All MultiViews IndexOptions +IconsAreLinks +IconHeight=12 +IconWidth=12 +NameWidth=* +ScanHTMLTitles +SuppressLastModified +SuppressSize IndexOrderDefault Descending Name HeaderName header.html IndexIgnore header.html The combination of the custom header and having just a name and description means most people don't even realize it's an index page. +ScanHTMLTitles means that each episode's title shows up in the index page automatically without my having to AddDescription manually for each one. And that's all before even thinking about adding php code to the htaccess file. But, this is OT to the list. -- A: You can never go too far.

[PHP] Changing values in .htaccess
I'm trying helplessly to get session.use_trans_sid to true in one directory that needs it. So I put this in an .htaccess file: php_value session.use_trans_sid 1 The thing is, it didn't work. I also tried changing 1 to On with no luck at all. Ideas are welcome. -- 21:50:04 up 2 days, 9:07, 0 users, load average: 0.92, 0.37, 0.18 - Lic.

Just for a brief reason why.. condsider a page request of: http://yourserver/some/dir/path/file.php apache has to check recursivly down the path to / for .htaccess before the request can be handled; that is a lot of overhead in my opinion and is a key point as why it is disabled by default.
