Absolutely: just consider a user who has deliberately blocked all cookies in their browser options -- even if your server is set to use cookies by default, if session.use_trans_sid has not been disabled, PHP will detect that the user is blocking cookies and revert to passing the SID (aka PHPSESSID) in the URL. If you have a URL that PHP is unable to rewrite for any reason (such as because it's in a header('Redirect: ...') string), if you haven't manually concatenated the SID constant to that URL, the session will "disappear" at that point.
