Re: Session Link Problems

Steve, As Mike said, I have a similar problem. I am using PHP 4.1.2. What release are you using? Peter Mike Ford wrote:

Hi, I am having a problem with sessions. On my testing machine my script works perfectly. However on the remote server it tries to pass the session id in the url even though I am accepting cookies. It is messing up all my links since it puts PHPSESSID=6a4626fc1cde0fb228fcb3ebe5587ffd in front of my hrefs without an & after. If I click the link then it registers the session as a cookie and everything works fine from there on out. Don't understand what is happening as everyting used to work fine, and I don't think I changed anyting. Don't know how well I described this.

Have you upgraded PHP recently? As far as I recollect, this behaviour was changed somewhere in the 4.1.x-4.2.x range of releases. For a full description of the exact behaviour, see my recent post in response to Peter Walter (sent on 11-Dec at 17:36 GMT). If you want your session handling to rely solely on cookies, then set the session.use_only_cookies option in php.ini -- but be aware that anyone using a browser with cookies turned off will not be able to use your site.
