No SID constant under PHP 4.2.0 ???

[Anon]

Hi everybody!

The problem is, that I couldn't transmit the SID constant in URL under PHP 4.2.0 !
(the session_name() . "=" . session_id() works)

for example: header("Location: temp.php?" . SID);
<a href="temp.php?<?php echo SID ?>">temp</a>

or a much simplier example:
start_session();
echo SID;

Nothing happens ....

Is it a bug or just I'm stupid (I forgot something with the variable scope) ???

thanx for helping

I think it is about your compilation time configuration parametres. If you want PHP provide trans_sid, it must be compiled with
--with-trans-sid parametre(Or smth like this,I can't exactly remember the usage).
Check you php.ini file to see your configuration options.

Good luck

Are you sure that 'sid' is right, isn´t it 'PHPSESSID' ?
