session problem

[Anon]

is normal that when i use session the first time that i need to retrieve session variable's values ,php automatically add the SESSION ID to the url(this only the first time ,on all subsequent access there isn't).
I don't like the idea of see the session id in the url .

Recompile PHP without transparent SID enabled.

i've read the transparent SID act only when php detect that the client doesn't support cookies.Why it append the SID only the first time?My browser have cookies enabled.

This is only a guess, but the only way PHP can detect if cookes are enabaled is to see if the next browser window returns the cookies, therefore to ensure that PHP remembers the session you would have to store on the SID the first time. After that you PHP would know whether cookies where enabled.
