[PHP] PHPSESSID in links

2007-09-17 Thread Kevin Murphy 
I've got a site (password protected, sorry) where I have this in the  
top of my template:


session_start();
$iSessionId = session_id();
$iSessionName = session_name();

Then I have a bunch of links like this in the site:

echo a href=\/departments/\Departments/a;

The first time, and only the first time you load the page, that link  
is transformed in the HTML output to be this:


a href=/departments/? 
PHPSESSID=4aec641b497131493b1c4bf489def723Departments/a


But if I reload the page, or go to any other page, I will get this:

a href=/departments/Departments/a

which is what I want. Obviously I could do something where if it  
detects the PHPSESSID in the URL, it forces the page to reload, but I  
was thinking that there would be another way to do this without  
adding another page load into the mix. Is there?

These are caused by the php.ini setting session.use_trans_sid being on. 
This setting allows sessions to work when cookies are disabled.


http://php.net/ref.session#ini.session.use-trans-sid

I'm not sure why you have such a problem with it. Why is it important 
that the URL does not contain the session ID?


Anyway, the way to fix it is to disable that php.ini setting.
