hi.
I am having trouble making the --enable-trans-id work.
It seems, it only works sometimes. I have not figured out when it works, and when it doesn't. It seems like it is quite random.
so for now, I am using a cookie to hold the id, but I need to quit using cookies asap.
Has anyone else had this problem? could it be that there is some of my code that causes the problem?
Any input is appreciated.
I can't help you with your question, but you do realize that sessions still use a cookie to hold the unique identifier don't you? I prefer cookies because they take the load off the server. If you do not give the cookie an expiration date you are using a temporary (session) cookie just as the server running sessions does, but storing the data in the client RAM instead of the server.
I know that it uses cookie if I specify it in php.ini.
But, I am porting over to sessions because I want to stop using cookies, and instead send the session id in the url.
(About 2- 4% of my users don't support cookies)
Sessions doesn't always use cookies. The problem arose when I turned of the session cookie.
Now, when I am using cookies, I am not transparently inserting the sessid's.
So,it's back to the original problem. Why on earth won't php insert the session id's into all of my url's all the time???!? 
Just re-enable cookies in your php.ini and trans-sid.
When a user supports cookies, it should use the cookie store method
If not, PHP will add the session id to all links
Thanks a bucko!
That was it. 
cheers
