Howdy. My test site has been indexed by a few search engines. The URL always has a session ID at the end. From what I've read, that can be bad if the same page has several session IDs. Also, I worry about the session ID table getting swamped. Why do I need session IDs? Is there anyway to hide them from crawlers or turn them off all together without compromising the usability of my site?

Thanks in advance,
Rachel N.

You can probably turn sessionids off with something like

php_value session.use_only_cookies 1
php_value session.use_trans_sid 0

in your .htacess file,

but it depends on your hosting environment
