Propagation problem! PLEASE help!

[influx]

Hello all!

How come when I try propagating a user's session ID, it does not propagate correctly. My site is laid out like this:

member's log in...go to login.php. All the links work perfectly fine, and actually have the session ids propagated with them (i.e: www.hello.com/member.php?SESSID=alksdfo). Now, let's say I go to hello.com/oogah.php?SESSID=alksdfo...in oogah.php, it doesn't propagate the session ID in any links. i initialize session_start() on each page, and I don't see why it shouldn't be working. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

the session id usually only gets passed for the first link clicked, then it becomes transparent when you hold the mouse over the link.

oh, well if i echo the session username on the third page, it wont echo...

Two suggestions:

1. How are you putting the session ID into the URL (the default name is PHPSESSID, and if you use something else you have to say so in future pages)?

2. Have you enabled session.trans_sid in php.ini so that they're put in automatically if cookies are disabled?
