Validation issues with SESSION variables

[CliffLandin]

I am almost finished with a site that uses $_SESSION variables which works just fine. However, when I try to validate the page via the W3C validation site (

http://validator.w3.org/)

I get a slew of errors stemming from the sessionID being passed with every link.

I guess that it would be easier to explain if you go to

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.timberlinebike.com/dayTrip.php

Thanks for any help that you can offer.

are you passing the Session ID into the url?

check your phpinfo() to see if session.use_cookies is set to 1. Changing this setting might help if you're not actually putting in your code.

on another note, to validate your <ul type='none'>, try removing the bullet via css. That should validate fine.

Seems the validator may want you to treat your "&"'s in
urls as "&amp;", check this out:

To avoid problems with both validators and browsers, always use &amp; in place of & when writing URLs in HTML:

<a href="foo.cgi?chapter=1&amp;section=2">...</a>

Note that replacing & with &amp; is only done when writing the URL in HTML, where "&" is a special character (along with "<" and ">"). When writing the same URL in a plain text email message or in the location bar of your browser, you would use "&" and not "&amp;". With HTML, the browser translates "&amp;" to "&" so the Web server would only see "&" and not "&amp;" in the query string of the request.

Yes, um no, I am not passing the sessID in the url, well I am, but it is not coming from my coding. Therefore I can't change the & to &amp;. I will check phpinfo().

Thanks for the input.

Ok, after doing a bit of checking I have found that session.use_cookies is set to ON which equates to 1. So, could it be with the coding? The links that are flagged in the validation are straight html anchors, for example:

<a href="

http://www.timberlinebike.com/dayTrip.php"

name="DayTrips" type="text/html">Day Trips</a>

It doesn't appear in the url or if you view source. I only get it when I try to validate.

I never received an answer to this, so I thought that I would bump it back up to the top.
