PHP Session Problem

Fred

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?PHP SESSID=d3994a59 1c42b9d3bba48ae 654341482

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

<?php
Try one or both of these:

ini_set('sessio n.use_trans_sid ', '0');
ini_set('sessio n.use_only_cook ies', '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_re writer.tags","" ); and it worked.

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

SQLSession vs InProcess Session State object references problem (C#)

by: Johan Nedin | last post by:

Hello! I have a problem with SQLSession state on my ASP.NET pages. SQLSession state behaves very different from InProcess session state, which I think is very bad. I can understand some of the differences, e.g that every object you store in SQLSession state have to be serializable, but other differences are very unfortunate.

Session[]

by: Just D. | last post by:

Do we have any access to the Session object from a different Session? The idea is to save Session of a current user and then if he logs in again then return the Session back. It's not a problem to store, there is only one complicated object in this Session, but to get it on SessionStart to make a copy this is a problem. Maybe using Application or whatever? Or this data is divided and inaccessible anyway? Just D.
