Searching through the logs and browsing my site (see sig) I sometimes see
PHPSESSID is used as opposed to cookies. I know it's not simply that the

Is session.use_trans_sid switched on?
Yes. It is. After reading about it I can't quite see what benifit it
provides. Should I just turn it off?
It depends on your site.
If you do something like this for a search:
<?php
...
if (!isset($_SESSION['SearchResults']) ||
empty($_SESSION['SearchResults'])) {
..
$result = $db->query($search_query);
$search_results = array();
while($row = $db->fetch($result)) {
$search_results[] = $row;
}
$_SESSION['SearchResults'] = $search_results;
}
foreach($_SESSION['SearchResults'] as $k => $details) {
....
}
I could send someone a url with the sessionid on the end of it, and it
won't have to do the bit in the middle, it will be able to jump right to
the end (the foreach loop).
If you don't do something like that, then you probably don't need the
trans_sid on.
so it depends on your site and your code.
