This one has me confused.
I am running a single set of code for 3 sites. All have been running for some time.
I was doing some developement on a user profile search module for one of the sites (just simple tweaking as it has been running for some time on a live site) and did encounter a snytax error. Fixed it and the site is fine. This module also runs on the other two sites mentioned.
Now, the target site has suddenly developed a habit of putting the php session id on the end of the clean url! Rolling back the module I was devloping to the earlier version (pre tweaks) makes no difference.
I tried turning off clean urls, saving, and turning back on, but no difference.
Strangely, the other two sites are fine, even with the module I was editting switched on.

I'm a bit stuck now, and this is a customer's site so I'd like to fix it asap. Any suggestions folks?

Please do some searching next time.

You need to set the following PHP variables:
session.use_trans_sid off
session.use_only_cookies on

Either through php.ini or .htaccess.

Are you having a bad day? I did of course search (but obviously with the wrong strings)
I am very grateful for the information, it appears to be correct and has solved the problem, which is of great value to me today.

I have been in IT for 15 years working at all levels. I am considerred a specialist in a number of areas. I have never felt motivated to display such arrogance to those asking for help.

Thankyou all the same for the information, it was very helpful, as was Dries similar posting I subsequently found here: http://drupal.org/node/2795

For others that may be interested:
I have been running clean urls for at least 3 months on two or three sites and this has only occured today for no apparent reason.

I know php.ini and .htaccess have not previously been changed because I do my own hosting.

Still adding Steve's lines to .htaccess fixed the problem.
