session_name not working?

MagnuM

Hello all,

I have a problem, when setting a new session_name() to my PHP scripts. The first line in this script is: <? session_start(); session_name("sid"); ?>

The problem is when the page is visited for the first time, at the end of each link apears PHPSESSID=...., but the session name is "sid" for sure. If I make a refresh on a page, the PHPSESSID from the queue of the link disapears.

For more details just visit: http://secan.net/test.php

Thanks.

The session still exists but the session ID is no longer passed in the URL because it is now in a cookie with the user... atleast that's what I think is going on with that.

I just figured out. It was a obvious mistake:

I have to put session_name() before session_start();

<? session_name("sid"); session_start(); ?>

Anyway, thank you guys.
