Hey, Just wondering why we only define SID when cookies are not used -- wouldn't it be useful in all cases?

Try reading <http://php.net/session>. The reason is spelled out there. :-)

OMG, sascha just used a smiley face -- REPENT! THE APOCOLYPSE IS COMING ;)))) I actually can't find the reason that SID is not registered... I know that its main use is for appending the session ID onto a URL, but I'd find it useful for logging purposes and such (i guess I could just use the session_name() and session_id() functions though). Is there any reason that having it enabled in both cases would be detrimental?

I can understand Sascha's reasoning, but I would like SID all the time. I guess Sascha is thining about case that a user want manual transparent session. AFAIK the manual page does not explain about conditional SID definition. That's why I made SID defined all the time in my patch. (Did original version have explaination?) I'm ok with whichever, since I fixed it to close a bug report in first place. Sascha, if you think current behavior is better to be maintained, I suggest to change the bug report to documentation problem. (It should be ANALYZED state still) -- Yasuo Ohgaki
