--enable-trans-sid

Hello to my php friends! I am trying to compile PHP with: ---enable-trans-sid But when i test out pages, the only time a real session is propagated between pages is when i included the <?=SID?> in the URL's (AND THIS WORKS GREAT!!!). BUT, If I remove that PHP sniplet, the session restarts on every PHP page I load. The PHP manuel specifically says that transparent ID enabled eliminates the need to do that. Does anyone know what is going on by chance? Does anyone have some insight as to why my transparent ID is not being passed between pages? Thank you. my source files are: (1) php-4.1.1.tar.gz (2) mysql_3.23.46.tar.gz and (3) apache_1.3.22.tar.Z my whole compile command is: ./configure --with-mysql --with-apacher=../apache_1.3.24 --enable-track-vars --enable-trans-sid --with-imap --with-kerberos --with-imap-ssl in php.ini, i have: session.use_trans_sid = 1 when i check my config logs, it says: checking wether to enable transparent session id propagation . . . . yes
