Did you try...? session_id()) session_start(); - - - - - From: PHP: session_id - Manual Location: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.session-id.php - - - - - session_id() is used to get or set the session id for the current session. The constant SID can also be used to retrieve the current name and session id as a string suitable for adding to URLs. See also Session handling. - - - - - From: PHP: session_start - Manual Location: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php - - - - - Description bool session_start ( void ) session_start() creates a session or resumes the current one based on the current session id that's being passed via a request, such as GET, POST, or a cookie. If you want to use a named session, you must call session_name() before calling session_start(). session_start() will register internal output handler for URL rewriting when trans-sid is enabled. If a user uses ob_gzhandler or like with ob_start(), the order of output handler is important for proper output. For example, user must register ob_gzhandler before session start. > > I'm working on some code now trying to set up a session and use session > variables in different scripts, but I'm getting this message: > > *Warning*: Unknown: Your script possibly relies on a session side-effect > which existed until PHP 4.2.3.
