I have done some work to make my site SEO friendly. After all works, I find
that new the front page links are showing with PHPSESSID, like follows:


http://www.domain.com/auto/japan/ho...c90196b70a7 74

My question is will the Search Engine Spiders ignore this
?PHPSESSID=884358cf272345dc58fc90196b70a774

If not how to avoid this ?
Tks

Add this code to your htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_value session.use_trans_sid 0
</IfModule>

...alternately, you can use an ini_set() at the top of your application as well. Both will kill that transparent SID.

Chemo-to your knowledge will that work for phpBB as well?

I did it but the second half is outdated. Oh well, the first half should make a pretty big improvement.

I tried the above mentioned rewrite
<IfModule mod_php4.c> php_value session.use_trans_sid 0 </IfModule>

I placed it in the document level in an .htaccess file and it crashed my site with a error 500 server misconfiguration message.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
