PHPSESSID? why?

irish12

I am trying to get a web page XHTML compliant. I have everything compliant except for some reason when I run the page through the validator on W3C it shows that there are additional arguments attached to some of the links.

For example, I have a link on the page:

results.php?CityID=16

but when I run this through the validator, it show this:

results.php?CityID=16&PHPSESSID=21b6c846f70d49f62db09ce66fac2626'

I checked the source code on the browser but the link does not show the PHPSESSID attached to it.

Does anybody know why this would be happening and how do I stop the PHPSESSID from attaching itself like this?

OK, figured out a solution.

For those that encounter the same problem, here is what to do.

If PHP 5 place this at the top of the page before" Session_start();":

ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', 0);

If PHP 4 place this at the top of the page before" Session_start();":

ini_set('url_rewriter.tags', '');

and this way only users who allow cookies for your page can use the session...

better use

//XHTML-conformity for session.use_trans_sid
ini_set('arg_separator.output', '&amp;amp;');
