<para>
<function>session_id</function> is used to get or set the session id for
the current session.
</para>
<para>
The constant <constant>SID</constant> can also be used to
retrieve the current name and session id as a string suitable for
adding to URLs. See also <link linkend="ref.session">Session
handling</link>.

<para>
If <parameter>id</parameter> is specified and not &null;, it will replace the current
session id. <function>session_id</function> needs to be called before
<function>session_start</function> for that purpose. Depending on the
session handler, not all characters are allowed within the session id.
For example, the file session handler only allows characters in the
range <literal>a-z A-Z 0-9 , (comma) and - (minus)</literal>!
</para>
<note>
<simpara>
When using session cookies, specifying an <parameter>id</parameter>
for <function>session_id</function> will always send a new cookie
when <function>session_start</function> is called, regardless if the
current session id is identical to the one being set.

<function>session_id</function> returns the session id for the current
session or the empty string (<literal>""</literal>) if there is no current
session (no current session id exists).
On failure, &false; is returned.
