Two sessions?

FourthChapter

Hi, i am new to sessions but i was trying to test a very simple create session script:

<?php session_start(); ?>

<html><head><title>Session - Starter</title></head><body>

<a href="index2.php?<?php echo(SID); ?>">Index Page 2</a>
<hr>
<? echo(SID); ?>
</body>
</html>

but when it runs, the link to index2.php is followed by the session name twice eg:

instead of /index2.php?PHPSESSID=4aaac429e35c1984ca54408c1db98431

it displays /index2.php?PHPSESSID=4aaac429e35c1984ca54408c1db98431&PHPSESSID=4aaac429e35c1984ca54408c1db98431

any ideas why? pardon my coding if it is wrong.

Also just a quickie, how do i change the name of the variable, instead of

/index2.php?PHPSESSID=.....
have
/index2.php?id=......

Thanks in advance

You could do it like this:

<?php
php session_start(); 
$session = session_id();
?>

<html><head><title>Session - Starter</title></head><body>

<a href="index2.php?id=<?php echo $session; ?>">Index Page 2</a>
<hr>
<? echo $session; ?>
</body>
</html>
