Mod Rewrite and PHPSESSID issue

[lookitsjonno]

Hi there,

I have a site that uses Mod Rewrite to changes the query string to:

http://www.domain.com/gb/123456/filename.ext

All works fine, however if i disable cookies it doesn't work, it seems PHP is not passing the PHPSESSID through the URL. Obviously for accessibility reasons i'd like it to work.

Anyone know how i can get around this?

Thanks.

Jonno.

What is your mod-rewrite rule?

 

[lookitsjonno]

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^search\/([^/]+)\/([^/]+)\/([^/]+)\/([^/]+)\.html$ index.php?do=search&m=$1&c=$2&t=$3&v=$4 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)\/([^/]+)\/([^/]+)\.html$ index.php?do=$3&plc_id=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)\/([^/]+)\/([^/]+)\/([^/]+)\.html$ index.php?do=$4&plc_id=$2&page=$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ index.php?do=$1 [QSA,L]

i was thinging the [QSA] (query string append) would append the PHPSESSID, but obviously it's not!

Have you tried changing the endings to include phpsessid if it exists?

It will leave your links with phpsessid, but you're boogered for that anyway so for example, change this:

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ index.php?do=$1 [QSA,L]

to:

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html\??(PHPSESSID=[a-z0-9]{26})?$ index.php?do=$1&$2 [QSA,L]

and it's the clients fault for having cookies diabled if their url looks ugly

Untested btw and the number of char's could be wrong.
