Re: Sessions: APACHE HACK instead of -trans-sid?

I remember seeing a mod_rewrite tip on phpbuilder.com at some point that explains just such a thing. I can't find it now (but I didn't look very hard.) The apache docs on mod_rewrite are great and should make all things pretty clear. One caution: Make sure that you are prepared for search engines spiders. If you include session ids in the URLs so that they look unique static files, you can get hit hard. me@artwells.com http://www.artwells.com/ That which indicates nothing introduces everything.
