[FX.php List] Eliminat the "?" with the SID option

[DC]

sounds like you answered your own question.

SID has nothing in it when PHP "knows" that cookies are on.

can you just use empty() or isset() to test SID?

not tested:
$qmarkSID = (!empty(SID))?'?':''.SID;
$url=  "thenextpage.php'.$qmarkSID;
