Can anyone tell me why 'session.use_trans_sid' is dangerous or give me a URL that explains it well?

Thanks

Ted

Most people tend to forget that the PHPSESSID are dangerous to use straight
in the queries, because it comes from a cookie (or URL), and thus from the
client, and thus can not be trusted (SQL-injection).

It also looks awful, having every link with their session posted into the url...
.htaccess
php_flag session.use_trans_sid off
