The problem i'm having is that the session id is showing up in the url when
a user moves to the next page in the site, but then after that it stop
showing up in the url (the way it should be). I don't want the session id
(periodically) showing up in the url this causes me problems on certain
things.
Why does this happen?
It is a feature to support users that do not have cookies or have
cookies disabled. The sessionid is showing only on the first page
access; once PHP establishes that the user supports cookies it
will stop changing URLs.
It is documented here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php
You can turn it off by setting "session.use_trans_sid" parameter
to off (btw, it is off by default).
Bye,
Ivan
