It seems that Google are having problems with my sessionID's generated from php and I'd like to know if there is a way to get rid of it if it is a bot that "reads" your pages?
There's a PHP configuration called session.use_only_cookies, which in your case is probably set to "0". Try setting it to "1".
Take a look at this article I wrote some days ago: http://www.frozenminds.com/disable-sessionid.html You find a mothod to disable it from htaccess, or directly from your php application. Boby
You can identify bots by their User Agent Strings. Code in such a way that session id will not be served to bots. It needs some minor coding in some cases, may be complex.. I dont know which system you are using.
Yes bot can see the PHPSESSID, just check Google to see how many sites are indexed this way. Best it would be if you disable the session ID for everyone, no matter if human or bot.
Hey Boby, thanks for the tip. I had a long question here, but I just added your code to my .htaccess file and it works perfectly AND I can still login and stay logged in from page to page! Thank you for the great tip! Green rep added! John
