PHP Session Problem

#1 July 17th, 2005, 09:58 AM

Hello,

When I use Session in my php code, the first time a session is
establish, every link on that page (where the session starts)
contains the PHPSESSID in the query.

For example:
session.php?PHPSESSID=d3994a591c42b9d3bba48ae65434 1482

If we follow the link, the PHPSESSID disapears, which makes sence to me
because the ID was added as a "cookie" to the browser and there is no
need to continue to be in the URL.

My question is, can I avoid this? (because of search engines)

I have tried in 3 different hosts and it happens in all of them. Except
in my localhost machine, don't know the reason why.

Can someone help me?

Here is the code. Just paste it in a file named session.php

<?php
session_start();
print "<html><a href=\"session.php\">Test the problem</a></html>";
?>

Thanks,
Fred

Try one or both of these:

ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', '0');
ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', '1');

> session_start();
> print "<html><a href=\"session.php\">Test the problem</a></html>";

Dear Pedro,

I have tried your sugestion.

It works on PHP Version 4.2.3 but NOT on the recent Version 4.3.9.
Bad luck for me, because what I want is in Version 4.3.9
Any other ideas? :(

Thank you,
Fred

Hello,

So, I tried with ini_set("url_rewriter.tags",""); and it worked.

http://martin.f2o.org/php/session, this page has it all.

Thanks for the help anyway. Could not have done it without you.
Regards,
Fred
