Joe -- ..and then Joseph Bannon said... % % I read the description on php.net, but what is % session_name really used for? Uttam's answer is technically correct, but it may not really provide the info you seek. [That's not meant as a slight upon Uttam, of course; it's a very good and thorough answer.] It's a way to name your session, and in particular it's what people will see when their browser says "this site would like to set a cookie" or when they peruse their cookie collections. It can be a way to better identify yourself -- particularly for those cases where the visitor might accept the cookie or might not. % % Thanks, % % Joe.
