Description Jordan 2007-09-21 00:50:34 UTC 
Hello

In my site there are several URLs such as the following: index.php?type=main&action=login but every link fails due to some mysterious parameter that is somehow added: index.php?type=main&action=login&PHPSESSID=2ca6dd3b9cdb381623f60bb0ee0ad939

By viewing the source HTML directly you can see that no such PHPSESSID parameter exists in any of the urls.

This parameter is added by your php session handler when a user agent is not accepting cookies. Try it: set up your browser to refuse cookies...
