It's not enough to simply make a website anymore. You have to pay $$$ to make sure it's just the way google wants it. Pandering, keyword ridden, robot-friendly webpages, soaring to the top of the rankings. Originality, humanity, punished, Someone ought to create an antagonistic force, something to throw all the algorithms off, something to stave off the robots and preserve the randomness, unpredictability and humanity. It would be the opposite of Google. It would be welcome. SEO is definitely sucking the life and freedom out of the internet. It’s not enough to simply make a website anymore.

Someone ought to create an antagonistic force, something to throw all the algorithms off, something to stave off the robots and preserve the randomness, unpredictability and humanity.

Might represent a fairly high overhead though if users or apps were allowed to freely switch between sessions on various authorized domains. Still, it would make sense if a user could be authenticated once, then switched to a seesion for an authorized domain for some reasonable length of time before requiring reswitching.

Use an array. ie - $something = array(); $something[] = "item"; $something[] = "item"; $something[] = "item"; $something[] = "item"; implode( ',' , $something); There’s a better way to build that list.

Maybe someone has left a comment in there, but it always seems to be a ton of reading to find any pertinent info in the comments on the manual. Basically had a issue where I use all kinds of session variables for a shopping cart on a site I developed, and when loading the secure pages from a non-www domain to the cart (which uses the www prefix) the session variables weren't available. Added the line to the .htaccess file and voila! All is happy, no need to modify any php. thanks so much for a post on what would seem to be a very common problem!
