Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #4495 Updated: trans-sid failure on forms

Joey, I have a quick possibly stupid question. Okay, it's definitely a stupid question. Let's say you do set an input type=hidden field to the SID. How reactivate the session given a session ID? something like: ---- <?php session_start(); session_id($old_session_sid); // but by doing this didn't I just create a session id that // I won't ever use with the original "session_start();"???? ?> <form method=post action=#> <input type=hidden name="old_session_sid" value="<?php echo $SID;?>"> </form> ---- any suggested corrections welcome. And why wouldn't you want to maintain a session over a post? The cookie method will maintain the session yes the non-cookie method (or whatever you call it, URL method?) won't. So we get two sets of behavior, one for URL and one for cookies? :( Thanks much for the time.
