how to avoid PHPSESSID=lalalala ?

[bliss322]

most pages on my site use sessions. every time i initially visit the site, all the links have that whole "PHPSESSID=....." attached to the end. it's not really a problem, but it's not "clean" looking. any way to work around?

Look up the configuration directive session.use_trans_sid. That's what is responsible for adding those constants to your URL's. Info on it can be found in the session functions section of the PHP maual, but bear in mind it can only be set in PHP.ini or .htaccess.

I literally just posted this same question yesterday. The answer is that you're getting that because session_start is failing and session_start is failing because the headers have already been sent.

i think seesion id also stops search engines o spider the page🆒

Jeb is correct.

The only way to fix PHPSESSID= is to go into your
php.ini file, (LINUX /etc/php.ini)

Find the line that says...

session.use_trans_sid=1

and change it to...

session.use_trans_sid=0

Save file, reboot apache...
( /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart )

Whalla.. you will now have transparent tracking.
