Perhaps you can turn it off in .htaccess

Does CGI utilize .htaccess???

Perhaps you could get them to use suExec and run your CGI with a
different user and environment (i.e., different php.ini) if they don't
want to use Module.

Really?

I'd expect that the search engine authors are smart enough to not be
messed up by something as common as PHPSESSID in a URL.

Can you provide any objective independent study reference to support
such a claim?

Much SEO information out there is utter crap...

[PHP] Removing PHPSESSID - CGI Install

2007-05-31 Thread Shaun
Hi,

I have PHP installed as a CGI module on my server. I want to stop PHPSESSID 
from appearing in the URL when a users cookies are turned for just one 
account. My hosting company says that this is impossible - they would have 
to change php.ini and that would affect every account on the server. Also if 
PHP is changed to an Apache module then they won't support it. Is there no 
other way around this? Removing PHPSESSID is very important for SEO 
purposes...

Thanks for your advice.
