Yes, the problem being that you will always start a new session
this way. You'll have to check to see if the session id already has
been setup.
if (! $_COOKIE['id_generated_me']) {
session_id('id_generated_me');
}
Although technically you can record the SID after the session_start.
session_start();
record_the_session(session_id());

Yes this legal, yet it is up to the client to determain what cookie
value to use. and very unpredictable.
