Regarding Thomas' note above about using SID as part of the URL; I'd advise against
passing the session ID between pages in a URL using header(), as it leaves open the possibility of
session stealing. Instead you should use:
session_start();
$_SESSION['sess_id'] = session_id();
header("Location:whatever.php");
You can then reference the same session in whatever.php without exposing the session ID, or leaving
open the possibility somebody will bookmark a URL with a session ID in it and try to access it
later.
