I had my admin change the
session.use_trans_sid = 1
to =0
no more sess ID in the URL - woo hoo

I guess this has to be 0 or in later versions 4.3.0
session.use_only_cookies = 1


*********************************************
Hello

I have tested this app on my machine but it doesnt do this - but when testing on development server, my script is displaying the session in the url. I was reading in man about session.use_only_cookies can keep this from happening but the dev server has php 4.1.2

Is there another way to stop this?

My script is such:

while($row = mysql_fetch_row($res))
{
echo "<li><a href = sess_downloads_p2.php?$row[0]>$row[1]</a></li>";
}

where $row[0] is a filename like filename.pdf

But when sess_download_p2.php loads in browser the URL has ...&PHPSESSID=(rand number)

Thanks for any help
