What is the difference between these ??

[veenuisthebest]

In my vB templates, at many places I find linking of files in three different ways !!

please tell me the difference among these..

1. <a href="file.php">$vbphrase[file]</a>

2. <a href="file.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[file]</a>

3. <a href="file.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[file]</a>

thanks

Or just stick them in a template and look at the HTML source of the output

--------------- Added [DATE]1210163015[/DATE] at [TIME]1210163015[/TIME] ---------------

this is the output in the order what I see in Firefox

1. <a href="file.php">file</a>

2. <a href="file.php">file</a>

3. <a href="file.php?">file</a>

how do they actually differ then ??

and this is what I see in IE

1. <a href="file.php">file</a>

2. <a href="file.php ?s =d919808b3020e93900f5bef63dbe3d05">file</a>

3. <a href="file.php ?s =d919808b3020e93900f5bef63dbe3d05&amp;">file</a>

$session[sessionurl_q] and $session[sessionurl] will only have a value of the browser doesn't accept cookies.

thanks for your reply sir.. but i want to know when to link files with $session[sessionurl_q] and $session[sessionurl] and how do they differ from simply linking file like <a href="file.php">file</a>

in other words.. is there a certain condition to use $session[sessionurl_q] OR $session[sessionurl].

Right, so links that don't have any additional actions (ie. do=something) should now use scriptname.php$session[sessionurl_q] instead of scriptname.php?$session[sessionurl], correct?

If you exclude this code altogether, what will happen is that if someone does not use cookies, when they click the file.php link they will need to re-login.
