You can use $sid = session_name().'='.session_id(); instead of SID or you can define o constant define('SID', session_name().'='.session_id()); at the start of script ( after session_start() ). Todd Cary wrote:

I am trying to understand sessions are done with php. My "learning script" has the following: session_start(); if (isset($_SESSION['firstname'])) {
    $_SESSION['firstname'] = 'Todd';
} else {
    $_SESSION['firstname'] = 'Nobody';
} echo "SESSION: " . $_SESSION['firstname'] . "<br>"; echo 'SID: ' . SID . '<br>'; echo '<br /><a href="page_2.php?' . SID . '">page 2</a>'; SID is always empty. What have I missed? Todd
