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.
