You have two options:
1) Pass the session name and id between pages.
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION[ 'var' ] = 'blah';
$sn = session_name();
$sid = session_id();
echo <<<EOF
< a href="nextpage.php?$sn=$sid">Link</a>
EOF;
?>
2) Use transparent sessions (cookie based).
ini_set("session.use_trans_sid", 1);
