session_name

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

session_name — Get and/or set the current session name

Beskrivelse

string session_name ([ string $name ] )

session_name() returns the name of the current session.

The session name is reset to the default value stored in session.name at request startup time. Thus, you need to call session_name() for every request (and before session_start() or session_register() are called).

Parameterliste

name

The session name references the session id in cookies and URLs. It should contain only alphanumeric characters; it should be short and descriptive (i.e. for users with enabled cookie warnings). If name is specified, the name of the current session is changed to its value.

Warning

The session name can't consist of digits only, at least one letter must be present. Otherwise a new session id is generated every time.

Returneringsværdier

Returns the name of the current session.
