Summary: session fail to start?
Status: Feedback
Type: Bug
Package: Session related
Operating System: windows
PHP Version: 5.6.5

I don't think it is a problem with session_set_cookie_params(). lets say i set 3 different
cookies to last for a day. only the sessionID which I renamed away from the default of PHPSESSID
does not persist.
Just another clearer example. I created a script which allows user to log into their account. A user
check remember me so the script extend the cookie time. A total of 3 cookies named, sessionID, name,
and a random value, with the same expiry time were given to the client browser. Now, everything is
still fine over here.
Bug happens after the user clicked log in and then chose to proceed to another request after being
redirected from the log in page, like a refresh or clicking on another link. when I called
$_COOKIE['sessionID'], undefined call to sessionID error was shown on the screen.
Surprising, only the sessionID cookie was affected. The other 2 can be seen in the browser cookie.
Not opting remember me will solve the problem, which is weird, only on IE.

Correction.

session.use_strict_mode=Off required.

Regardless of session.use_strict_mode, following code should work
session_name('MYSESS1');
session_id('2342424234242424323423');
session_set_cookie_params( some params);
session_start();
//do something. Copy $_SESSION to other var, if needed.
session_commit();
session_name('MYSESS2');
session_id('abasdfasdasbafdewra');
session_set_cookie_params( some params);
session_start();

Why do you set cookie by yourself? It should be done by session module.
Use session_set_cookie_params() and session_start().
If you're enabling session.use_strict_mode (i.e. session.use_strice_mode=On), disable it to set
your own ID. Beware that you are less secure with session.use_strit_mode=Off.
If you need to use certain session ID to share under use_strict_mode=on, get already initialized
session ID after session_start() and use it.
This should solve your issue.

Description:
------------
The actual version of php is actually 5.6.3
The session does not persist when I set cookie for the session id to last not until the browser is
closed. example, to last for a day.
When the session id is set to last until the browser is closed, the session start works on
subsequent page request.
Tested on 3 browsers - chrome, mozilla, and IE. This only happens on IE.
realized this problem after upgrading from php 5.4+
I used the session_name function to change the default, so I am not using PHPSESSID. Not sure what
is the actual cause.
Test script:
---------------
session_name('sessionID');
setcookie('sessionID',$sessionID,time()+3600*24,'/',NULL,true);
