Do you think it would be better for me to generate my own unique number and set that in the cookie? Will i have to keep calling SetCookie() on every page? One thing i should have mentioned in my previous email, even though it isn't that relevant i don't think, is that if i omit the SID constant from the URL string then PHP automatically appends the SID to the URL its self, but again it disappears after a link has been clicked.
