I wasn't able to find this in the docs, so could someone
tell me exactly how --enable-trans-sid is supposed to work
behind the scenes?
Why would this option work and transmit the SID for
this url:
" target="_top">here
while it won't for this url:
here
It makes no sense to me...

We compiled PHP to be used as a CGI and it's
working great. However, whenever we run a
php script, the following message gets outputted
at the start of the output:
"X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.3pl1
Content-type: text/html"
Is there any way we can suppress that message?
