Session

[rbutler]

Is there a way to put something like this:

<?php session_start(); 
include 'connection/connection.php'; 
if (!session_is_registered("counted")){ 
mysql_query("UPDATE simplecount SET count=(count + 1) WHERE count_id=1"); 
session_register("counted"); 
} 
?>

before my doctype without it affecting my links? For example, I have a horizontal menu where I have a link that says "Home", but using the above code, it extends my actual href parameters as http://domain.com?PHPsessionID12323124, then upon a refresh it doesn't.

The reason is because this needs to be the first code that is sent to the browser, otherwise, it throws errors all over the place.

Suggestions?

It is a server software specific problem. You need to set "session.use_only_cookies" to 1 in your php.ini

Then it will no add PHPSESSIONID at the end of URLs.

For more information read php manual.

Hope this help.

Thanks for the info, I'll look into it.

An added question, would enabling this take away the ability to use sessions in the future? Another words, can I have the best of both worlds?
