Actually, over the weekend, I started using sessions in my scripts.
All I did was start it using session_start();
I only noticed this behaviour using Opera 6.02 Linux browser running
under FBSD 4.6-Stable.
(It may have happened in mozilla 1.0 r3, but I may have not paid
attention to it).
I load the page the first time and the PHPSESSID is appended to the url.
All links on the pages has the same appended SID. Then a reload clears
it away.
I thought it was something in my code since Im not too familiar on
session usage.
Im running php 4.2.2 on FBSD 4.6.2-Release.
Thx
