[portalplanet]

Hi all. I'm new to php and was wondering how to make it so that phpsessid= does not get added to then ends of URLs? Is it possible? Is it getting added there because of the apache configuration?

Thanks,
Justin

When you are using sessions this is one of two ways session ids may be passed (the second being cookies). It is possible to force php to only use cookies to maintain session state, but that will result in your site working incorrectly for users without cookies enabled.

The setting for this is session.use_only_cookies

You can set it either in php.ini, .htaccess, or with the ini_set() function.

You can also use mod_rewrite to adjust your url.

put

ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', false);

at the top of the files.

or set it in php.ini
