Bug #3878: Problem with using "trans-sid"

From: webadmin@abcusd.fdns.net Operating system: Linux 2.2 - i686 PHP version: 3.0 Latest CVS (19/03/2000) PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: Problem with using "trans-sid" The following is to document a problem when using the trans-sid feature enabled with using the latest beta release of PHP 4.0 . Here is the scenario: Dynamic links generated straight out of a database: <? // query database for the source id --> id stored in variable: "$id" echo "<A HREF="some_file.php?src=$id">hello</A>"; .... ?> What ends up happening is this: the following link is generated: <A HREF="some_file.php?src=PHPSESSID=5298702D239292">hello</A> As you can see, the PHPSESSID is appended BEFORE the variable's $id 's value is determined. However, when the user comes back to this page and repeats the process, all is well - as the PHPSESSID is not appended again. Thanks for your time and in making PHP the best scripting languages ever.
