DenDen Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 ^ *blink* Session ID? --Robb "Please explain....I don't know as much about this whole internet thingy as people might think!" Alvey This script generates a "session ID" in the URL, which lets the script tell the difference between users while on-line simultaneously, and to have "new messages since last login" functionality. for example.... In MSIE, when you go into the forums, you get a url like this.... http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2&sid=ffce3e8d3ffa8bc5c79a81c5759c6b59 "SID=##############" is the session ID. You don't get this in firefox. All you get is.... http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2 All this means is this PHP script is not using W3C standards, but it hurts those not using MSIE. (Not just Firefox, but Macs, Linux, etc.) You'd be suprised at how much MSIE has influenced the internet with proprietary web code. Most of the time, for better, but in this case, for the worse. Why use standards? Well, when AOL switches to Firefox next year, you're gonna have a huge spike in FireFox users. As a web master myself, I have gotten used to the "browser wars" way back when, and it makes my job suck, but it keeps me ahead of the game.

DenDen Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 WOOPS! In addition: I just went to the PHPBB site, their script DOES generate the Session ID's in Firefox. Are you running an older version of the script? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Woah...I never get those session ID's when I run the forum! I see stuff that looks like this: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2 http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17652 And yeah, I am running an older version. I wil upgrade soon, but with all the mods I have installed, upgrading is not going to be easy. =( --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be on the dev team for WebAPP, but I hacked mine so much, and didn't like the direction the script was going, I left. Upgrades were VERY time consuming.

WillMontu Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I haven't noticed anything. Running FireFox under XP (dumped IE well over a year ago, too many security holes, and hasn't had a major update since Windows 98 came out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
