session_regenerate_id

[mOleCuleZz]

Hi,
I'm working with dreamweaver v8 and when i enter this function it doesn't seem to recognize it (the text color is black instead of blue).. i tried to run the script anyways see if it's dreamweaver but it's not working either.
seems that it doesn't recognize this function.
when I use sessionid() it works fine.
If anyone has any knowledge of this.. please help

<?php 
$cookieUser = $_COOKIE['c_user'];
$cookieID = $_COOKIE['c_id'];
//session_id($cookieUser);
session_start();
session_regenerate_id($cookieUser);

?>

[man]session_regenerate_id[/man] exists only in PHP 4.3.2 and higher. which version are you running?

I'm running PHP Version 5.1.1

Are you trying to regenerate the session with the same name? Because [man]session_regenerate_id/man will either replace the old session id with a new one or not. And what is passed to the function is a bool TRUE or FALSE. It defaults to false.

So your code should be:

session_regenerate_id();

Unless you want a new ID, then you pass TRUE, otherwise leave it empty...

See if that helps.
