keeping URL clean

[grail]

Is there anyway to keep the PHPSESSID variable OUT of the URL when you click on a link?

Do not include it in the URL and use cookies to store it. But remember that user may disable cookies so you must check it.

Note that this may require you to turn off session.use_trans_sid in your php.ini.

But then like Saruman says, you won't be able to keep session data for people with cookies turned off.

However, success was too patchy for the practice to become economical - one of us became a mathematician, one a programmer, one became a comedian, one runs a commune in Melanesia, and one still isn't allowed access to sharp objects or writing instruments

hehe

And one of you became a zany standup comedian from Liverpool 🙂
