SID and php4 sessions

[Anon]

Hi, I have a little problem with SID. If I write
the following code :

session_start();
printf('<a href="script.php?%s">Link</a>', SID);

(like the example in http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/session.php)

it give me the following link =
http://localhost/script?

As you can see the SID part is not there, but I know the
session as started because if I do :

echo $PHPSESSID;

it gives me the session id!! Any idea why?
Thanks.

SID will only be initialized if you don't send a cookie in your session. I think you can do this in you php.ini file (I think you have to set a variable = 0). In the browser you are testing your script with go to the preferences and disable cookies. Now load that page and you should get the SID.

I am a newbie myself , i was facing the same problem and i tracked it in PHP.INI file where var_track & global var both were set to ON , and that created the problem SID was not passing You check if both are ON set var_track to OFF , I think it will correct your problem
