jakebur01 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I am trying to display different content for the user on the homepage if they are logged in. After they logged in I set $_SESSION['valid_user'] , $_SESSION['zip'], etc. On the homepage I have session_start(); at the top and I have sections on the page that checked to see if you are logged in.... if you are, then it displays info based on you account. My problem is that I do not want session_id's appended onto all of my links. How can I do what I need to do on the homepage and not have session id's in my links?

jakebur01 Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 It has to be common for people who have worked with e commerce sites. How do they display the cart quantities and cart items without having session id's in their links?

Yesideez Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Try placing this BEFORE session_start(): ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', 1); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/136974-session_start-help/#findComment-715443 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakebur01 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 I did some research. Someone suggested this: ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', false); won't help, but ini_set("url_rewriter.tags",""); does Would ini_set("url_rewriter.tags",""); be a good thing for me to use? And will it hurt me or my customers in any way? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/136974-session_start-help/#findComment-715475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtopolis Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 What version of PHP are you using? AFAIK, it should be disabled by default...(session.use_trans_sid), which would mean no session id appended to the url. Check your servers php_info() vs this one: http://links.1and1faqs.com/check_info.php5 That by default uses cookies only to pass the session id.

xtopolis Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 It would have to be placed on every script. Do what I said and put the config into a php.ini file which would apply to the whole folder. session.use_trans_sid 0 , I'm pretty sure will help url_rewriter.tags , I have no clue Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/136974-session_start-help/#findComment-716054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
