 Operating System: Linux Red hat 9 -2.4.20

 New Comment:

This is a potential security issue, since I read the manual as
describing the behavior this bug expects (whereas the experienced
behavior is very different).  The ability to keep session data private
(especially SIDs) is very important and I don't think the developers
intended trans-sid to extend beyond the use of sessions in a script
(i.e., beyond where the session has been destroyed).

On a sidenote, you can avoid having trans-sid append your links by
using absolute (rather than relative) URLs.

I recommend that the original submitter changes this back from Bogus,
absolutely zero explanation was given as to why this isn't a bug, and I
(personally) happen to disagree.

Re: your comment - why are session_destroy() and/or
session_write_close() not supposed to unregister the handler? Is there
another function that has this functionality?

Because it's not supposed to unregister the handler.
