Re: [cobalt-users] PHP on RaQ4/RaQ550

["Shaun Johnston" <shaun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there

Not sure if this is any help, but you may be able to use

ini_set("session.use_trans_sid", 1);

within the application (probably in a configuration include that every
script initially accesses) to set use_trans_sid to on.

For more info, check out

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php

Do a search for use_trans_sid because it's a fairly long page.

Good luck :-)
