session variables

[pcsmurf]

Sometimes when I first load my php page the links on the page contain session variables - something like sugar/showpage.php?pagename=contactustext?PHPSESSID=e58973a35a24c7607fc699d88881dc31 - this makes the link invalid.

a) How can I fix this ?
b) What puts it there in the first place ?

Look at the output from phpinfo() and ascertain the settings for your session handling. You can disable the session.use_trans_sid with set_ini for the script, however, you should consider changing the global setting if enabled.

What is your PHP installation's setting of session.use_only_cookies?

session.use_trans_sid is on and session.use_only_cookies is off.

I should point out at this stage that my php server is run by a webhosting company so we do not have direct control over server settings.

As suggested, try to use ini_set() for those values.

According to this page in the PHP online manual, you can change session.use_only_cookies on a per-script basis through the use of ini_set(). session.use_trans_sid must be set in either php.ini or in an Apache .htaccess file.
