/"/" OUTSIDE PHP turns into PHPSESSID

[Anon]

I've written a couple of pages which use session objects. The first page is the problem.

It starts with a 'session-open' and then a couple of 'session-register's. It also features a client side java-script which I put outside the < ? php ? > tags.

The problem occurs when I go to this first page for the first time in a session. On EVERY PLACE in- and outside of the php-tags, this next line:
\"\"
is translated into
\"\?PHPSESSID=53272023b037e525d29465dadf6bf4ea"

I can work around it by using the next line instead:
\" \"
But why is it translated in the first place????

Sounds like URL rewriting... Did you compile your PHP with --enable-trans-sid option ?

That's the strange part. I haven't altered the php.ini file to do this. I'm working in a WINNT environment and am using PHP behind an Apache web server.

The ini-file doesn't contain the line
--enable-trans-sid and as I can read in the manual, it isn't initially turned on.

So it shoudn't rewrite, right?

Anyway, even if it SHOULD rewrite, it shouldn't do this in my client side java-code. Now it doesn't know what it's doing and is messing up my code!

Can't I turn it off??
