Question about dynamic forms

Aden1

I am using sessions and a dynamic form and need to create a link from within that form to another page.

The coding I am talking about would look as follows if I weren't using sessions:

while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{

		echo "<tr><td><a href=edit.php?id=$row[id]>edit   </a>"."<a href=delete.php?id=$row[id]>delete</a></td>";

		echo "<td>$row[name]</td></tr>";

	}

My question is, because I am using sessions, I believe that I need to include .SID in the reference to the edit.php and delete.php files.

I don't know how to include that in the <a href= > code. Can anyone advise me please?

Thanks

Why do you say that? Are you not using cookies to propagate the session ID?

No, I am wanting to use sessions in case people don't have cookies enabled. So I need to know how to add '.sid'.

That is why I asked my other question about session information not being passed onto other pages.

In relation to that other question, have you seen anything in the PHP directives that I posted that might be causing the problem?

Many thanks

See the PHP manual page [man]session.idpassing[/man].

To be honest, I've always just used cookies only to pass the session ID, so I'm a bit out of touch with using the URL instead. My attitude is that if you start disabling basic things such as cookies, then don't bother expecting my websites to behave like they should.

OK thanks for that bradgrafelman - that might be the way to go! However that link looks interesting - I will investigate!

However I still have the problem with the session_id being different on the two pages. Any help you can give on that from the php directives I posted?

First place I'd start is by examining the HTTP headers that the server and your browser are sending back and forth; see if you can observe the cookie being set by the server and returned by your browser in the next request.
