ok kewl

now how do i set a unique session ID ?

eg for a shopping cart type setup

[jansky]

if (!isset(session_id())
{
session_start()
$sid=session_id();
}
echo $sid // should give you a session id

[Vampirev]

you are a champ cheers

[Vampirev]

if (!isset(session_id())
{
session_start()
$sid=session_id();
}
echo $sid // should give you a session id

it doesnt like the first line

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/httpd/vhosts/onstageshirts.com.au/httpdocs/login/header.php on line 1

ideas?
