Rhubarb Cheesecake

"Another rhubarb recipe. I found this on allrecipes.com, but I made a few changes. It was suppose to be made in a 9 in spring form pan, but I don't have one (or know what one is) so I added more ingredients to fill a 9x13 dish. It also called for a sauce on top of sour cream sugar and vanilla, but I forgot to use it and it was awesome anyways, so I didn't include it. A review also suggested the pecan sandies as a crust instead of flour butter and sugar, so I included her/his suggestion.
