session encode

[raffael3d]

I need to write a session id into a datbase.

so at the top of the page I have

<?session_start();


  $sessionId = session_id();

later then I want to encode the session and write it into the database:

$session2 = session_encode();
$query = "INSERT INTO shop (sessionid) VALUES ('$session2')";

however it cuses problems, and it's not working, any tips how to handle this? thanks.

does echo $session2 display anything?

[raffael3d]

it says count|i:18;start|i:1078752353;

is that what u wanna store, i.e. does your session contain information like this. and does the db query funtion succeed or do u get any error message??
