Is this still valid.. some time since I did any webdesign, not sure if the user agent string is still the same (24th april 04)
google still has the string 'Googlebot' in it's UA? if so this should work to strip session ID's off forum url when he comes visiting. Been known to work to good effect in the past - anyone confirm if it's still good?

## Obviously, if someone thinks it's funny to surf around with a

## allow cookies, he will loose his session/login on every pageview.
## Should he complain to you, tell him to eat your shorts.
##
## If you want to add further crawlers look at the appropiate line and
## feel free to add part of the user_agent which should be _unique_
## unique to that, so a user is never confused with a bot.

just noticed my code was a bit different in my forum (2.0.6) .. uses some animal called preg_match rather than eregi (whatever the finer points of each is i don't know.)
if you have preg_match instead of eregi try
[code:1:5456f7d95b]
if ( !empty($SID) && !preg_match('#sid=#', $url) && !strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ,'Googlebot') && !strstr($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ,'slurp@inktomi.com;') )
[/code:1:5456f7d95b]
check the parentheses. in a rush & I might well have cocked up ;-)
