why doesn't my session have a number?

[seanpaulcail]

I crteated a session using session_start then doing session_start() on each page. But in my browser's url field there is no number for the session.

You can see what I'm talking about by visiting,
http://www.caillouette.com/blue_black4/startloan.php
and broiwsiung the different pages in the borrower box (where it says "click to go") choose a page. All these pages are based off of session_start, but ewhen I go to a different page I get the following in my browser's url ffield

http://www.caillouette.com/blue_black4/address.php?session=

There is no number after "session" why is this?

Thanks

default session name in php is "PHPSESSID", and in this example youre using "session". You have to be very careful at determining the session name.

If you have changed session name to "session", then you can do the following:

$id= session_id(); // This is the id number (key) of the sess

echo "<form method=post action=\"whatever.php?session=$id\">";

otherwise you substitue "session" with the default name "PHPSESSID".

If your session was url pending then the session name AND the session number should've been auotomatically displayed in the URL.

An easier way to get the session id be appended to the URL is to do this in your PHP.ini

session.use_trans_sid = 1

Then it will automatically be added to every link and added to every form
