i just have the regular

print "<a href='somelink.php'>Yooooooooo man click this :P:P</a>";

that same link sometimes shows the session, others it doesnt

Sounds like you've got trans_sid enabled. To check run the following:


<?php
echo ini_get("session.use_trans_sid");
?>


If it returns a 1 then trans_sid is enabled for your install of php. You can turn it off in the php.ini file or if you don't have access to it, you can do it with ini_set:


<?php
ini_set("session.use_trans_sid", 0);
?>


I would guess the reason that it's sometimes there and sometimes not is that you're not always initiating a session. It will only show up once the session has been initiated.
