URL finishing with PHPSESSID=

Question

Hi,

Why does pages indexed in google are finishing with PHPSESSID=blabla ?
It's quite note SEO friendly.
For exemple :

http://www.businessattitude.fr/questions/93/est-il-int%C3%A9ressant-d-investir-dans-l-or-en-2010?PHPSESSID=2e5e73f3f7163259d28171c4d78e5760

It would be best to have http://www.businessattitude.fr/questions/93/est-il-int%C3%A9ressant-d-investir-dans-l-or-en-2010

Thanks for your answer.

It seems that your PHP configuration allows sessions to be tracked via URL parameters, as well as cookies. You can fix this by switching off the session.use_trans_sid setting, or try adding this in qa-config.php:

ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', false);

I'll also add this in the appropriate place in the next version.

Thank you very much for your reply. Can I copy/paste this code "ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', false);" any where in qa-config.php?

Have a nice evening.

Yes, it shouldn't matter where it goes in that file.
