php.ini variable

[scottybwoy]

Quick easy question, or maybe 2 if I'm allowed.

 

What is the php.ini directive I need to change to stop session id being posted in the url?

 

Also if I type http://localhost/ it displays the files not index.php, what should I put in .htaccess file to stop that.

 

Thanks

Set session.use_trans_sid to 0, eg:

session.use_trans_sid = 0

 

and make sure session.use_only_cookies is set to true. You may have to remove the semi-colon in front of the above lines in order for PHP read the changes.

Add index.php to the DirectoryIndex directive within your httpd.conf file (if you have access it).

Or for .htaccess then use

DirectoryIndex +index.php

 

Make sure you restart Apache after making changes to the httpd.conf or php.ini
