I tried ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', "1"). I also tried ini_set('session.use-trans-sid', 0). Right after I made the change, the sid was gone, urls didn't contain it anymore, BUT, the next day, today, when I accessed the site from my office (another computer), the SID is there again! And this is exactly like when I first added ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', "1") : before the addition the sid was sometimes there, after the addition it wasn't. Few days later it was there again. Then I added ini_set('session.use-trans-sid', 0) and it was ok, today it's not. Don't know what to believe anymore... The strange thing is, phpinfo() says session.use_only_cookies is ON and session.use_trans_sid likewise. So if session.use_trans_sid is on, why do I lose my session after redirecting to a relative url ? The docs say that "relative URIs will be changed to contain the session id automatically". Also when I access the forums on my site (IPB), the sid isn't embedded. So my question is: if session.use_only_cookies is ON, why on earth is the sid present in the url ? PS: php is version 4.3.8.
