Re: Session id

There is an option that you compile PHP with to have it automatically insert the session ID in the GET parameter when necessary. We'll call it --enable-sid just because I can't remember what the option really is. You should probably compile PHP again without this option; then you can include the SID your self, like so: ?><a href="browser.php?<?=SID?>"><? This way PHP will only print out 'SID' if it needs to at exactly the spot you told it to. Hope that's clear. I'm sure someone else remembers what the compiling option is.
