Re: Cookies and Sessions: What's the Best Recipe?

So you can safely do: > > header("Location: {$location}?".SID); The SID constant var is a good idea! I didn't realize this existed. Taking what Justin originally suggested, I've now modified the myHeader() function to only append the SID if it exists (else, it returns the $location var as it was passed). It also checks to see whether there is a ? in the $location var. If so, it will append the SID using a &, otherwise it will append the SID with a ?. I haven't tested this yet, but, if anyone has any other suggestions or recommendations, please post them. function myHeader($location) { if (SID) { if (strstr($location, '?')) { header("Location: {$location}&".SID); } else { header("Location: {$location}?".SID); } } else { return $location; } return; } Monty
