How to get the PHPSESSID out of links

Anon

Hello,

For some reason, the first time someone accesses a page on my website, the PHPSESSID gets added to all links and forms even though the session is available (echo session_id()😉 right on that page.

This is happening only the first time a page on the site is accessed, later on the session will not attach to links (which is what I want since I have forms where specific fields are required and by inserting a hidden field will screw up my JavaScript).

My question is how can I make sure that even on the first page access, the PHPSESSID does not attach itself to all the links?

I don't use session_start and session_register since it became obsolete.

I can not play with the php.ini since is not hosted by me.

PHP version: 4.1.0

Thanks.

Turn of "session.use_trans_sid" in php.ini!
You can change some of php.ini settings
with the "ini_set"-function:
Something like this:
ini_set("session.use_trans_sid", 0);

One more thing:

For some reason, in Netscape (tested in 4.08 and 6.2), the PHPSESSID is identical in two different windows (browser window)?!

In IE the session is different for each window (no problem there).

Does anybody has an explanation on how this could happen?

Thanks.

It really has to do with how the browser work!
I think that all the open windows in NE share
the same memory!
If you open a new window from a window that already open (in IE) you will get the same effect sa in NE.

I still have been living that trouble so far, and I tried this code :
<?
ini_set("session.use_trans_sid","0");
ini_set("session.use_cookies","1");

?>
Unfortunately, it didn't work and I changed the values from php.ini and still the trouble was there.

any idea ?
