PHP Session ID's

[focus () karsites net]

You can pass the PHP session ID as a <input type="hidden" 
name="xyz"> html form variable if using a form. You can 
even create a blank form just for this purpose.

EG.

function simple_SEARCH_button($text)
{
 global $session_id;
 ?>
 <FORM ACTION="./search.hml" METHOD="POST">

 <P ALIGN=CENTER>
 <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="<?php echo $text; ?>"> </P>

 <!-- pass the following hidden variables with the form -->

 <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="session_id"
        VALUE="<?php echo $session_id; ?>">

 </FORM>

 <?php 
} // end of simple_SEARCH_button($text)

> !! In short, you are better off putting the session id in a cookie than
> !! putting it in the URL.  You are right that referrer headers are one
> !! way that a URL session id can leak.  It may also be logged in proxies
> !! or firewalls.
