INI SET with Session Trans ID! Help!

execute

Hi, my web host has a PHP ini command set for PHPSESSID as a session trans id, and thats activated, so search engines are gonna notice this and ban me as a spammer because they will think its duplicate content when like 14 different URLs all with different PHPSESSID parameters are there. Is there some way i can disable this? I have tried contacting my web host, but they never respond, and their phone is dead, and i dunno they dont have a cancel order button either so i can't get rid of them and stuck with them (Not sure how to contact authorities either).

But anyway, i tried using this to disable it.

ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', '0');

But when i log googlebot's actions for example, it still finds pages with PHPSESSID... And some links this ini_set doesn't seem to work. http://www.designplanet.biz

Just some certain times when i go on my webvsite there is no PHPSESSID but sometimes there is.

Is there some other way i can disable this? Please help!!!

THis is quite Odd. Sometimes when i go to my website the links get tailed with PHPSESSID, and if i refresh they dissappear,
and if i refresh a bunch of other times they dont re-appear... Could this perhaps be because of cacheing? Should i disable caching with a header? (but then my website would load slower right?)

Any ideas?

Is there a way i can use HTACCESS URL rewrite mod or whatever to disable PHPSESSID? or another function to change this setting permanently?

did you find a solution to this? I have the same problem. 🙁

In the root of your website, try making/adding on to a .htaccess file something like this:

php_value session.use_trans_sid 0

Do a phpinfo() in a couple of different directories to make sure it applied. If you do a phpinfo(), you should find a section for "session" and a list of directives. What are the local and master values for "session.use_trans_sid" ?
