Sessions and Security Concerns

Hi,

I'm just wondering whether there are any apparent security concerns I should
be aware of when using sessions in my PHP scripts. I understand that
sessions are tracked with an individual user via a session ID which is
stored in a temporary location on the server, as well as a PHPSESSID cookie
assigned to the end user's client, but the server my website is hosted on
(and which I'll be developing my PHP script on) doesn't allow you to create
a session ID via the URL (i.e. index.php?PHPSESSID=1234) so I *presume* only
the server can generate a session ID for the end user when I call the
session_start function? So do I still need to call session_regenerate_id for
security purposes when an end user has entered the correct login credentials
- would this be necessary since you cant set a session ID via the URL?

Thanks,
Ben.
