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

All, I did end updoing the hidden form field thing. But my thoughts are the whole point of trans-sid is to be just that, transparent. And by having to code in a hidden form field with the SID, then its not completely transparent... Also answer me this, why shouldn't it append the SID to a form post? Thanks!
