Your new installation looks like it has the enable_trans_sid option turned on: this option governs whether PHP will transparently rewrite links for users without cookies - htdig is one of these presumably ;-) You'll find that your <form>s have a new <input type="hidden"> field as well, containing the session ID. It can be turned off in php.ini, but I think this might break sessions for non-cookie-accepting users (not sure). Cheers Jon
