[PHP] trans-sid .. help

2002-05-15 Thread Joshua E Minnie

I have been using some simple session management for some of my pages.  I am
inquiring about the use of transparent session id usage.  I have read the
manual and I am still a little confused on how to go about using it.

I did run phpinfo() to make sure that trans-id was enabled.  It outputed:
session.use_trans_id[local value] 1[master value] 1

I am assuming that this means it is enabled.  Now my question is how do I go
about using a trans-id?  I've seen session id appended to the URL (i.e.
this.php?PHPSESSID=a2604374903c616c9cd34e13c0ceed98), but would like to use
it without disclosing the session id in the URL.  If anyone could give me
some sample code to help me alleviate the confusion, it will be greatly
appreciated.


I am using PHP 4.1.2 compiled as CGI on Windows NT 4.0

The whole point of transparent session id is that it doesn't rely on cookies 
being set on the client browser. Thus it /has/ to propagate the session id 
via the URL and through hidden values in forms. Both of these happens 
automatically.

You can't; that's how it works. This is why people prefer cookies.
