Posting the (URL-based) session variable as hidden form value can lead into a problem if the user hits the Browsers RELOAD-button on the following page (usually some kind of "thank you"-page). In this case the session id is gone. 

Sure, this is no Problem if you use cookies - but well, I just hate them and quite often I even must not (!) use them.

Solution: make the session id be added to the action attribute of the form (again) when PHP is working in "trans-sid"-mode.

Either add it manually or change the form=fakeentry to form=action in php.ini directive url_rewriter.tags
