Re: Sessions problem

If you wish is to carry sessions between .php and .html files, and it is your wish to have this work across both cookie enabled and disabled browsers, then yes, you will need to force at least some .html pages through PHP (I've configured this in Apache with a .htaccess file before), and you will need to have PHP complied with enable-trans-sid to take advantage of PHP's URL rewriting, which will pass the id around in URLs for MOST cases. So, given those two requirements, the question about speed is really irrelevant, since it's seems it's a case of must-have. In any case, I doubt you'd notice a difference unless the server was really under load, and you'll be even better off if you ONLY force the .html pages you NEED parsed through PHP...
