Not to most URLs, no, but if the SID is being passed in the URL you *must*
append it to any header("Location: ...") URL.
Fortunately, this, too, is easy, and the OP was making it way more
complicated than it needs to be! ;) The constant SID only contains the
session name and id *when it needs to* -- otherwise it's defined as the
empty string. So you can unconditionally append it to URLs and get the
right result:
header('Location: simple2.php?'.SID);
The only tidying-up you might want to do, if you're really obsessional about
neatness, is suppress the '?' if SID is empty, so:
header('Location: simple2.php'.SID?('?'.SID):'');
I can't see any benefit in applying strip_tags() to SID, unless you're
terminally paranoid -- as it's generated internally by PHP, there shouldn't
be any way it can contain anything that strip_tags() would defend against.
Cheers!
