With sessions, the session_start(); function will initiate a session in the
severs tmp directory with a file name such as 55abhc8a83kqk etc. The
session_name("name_of_var"); function allows you to create a unique name for
your session vs. the 55abhc8a83kqk. A good way to check your sessions is to
do something like this:
<?php
session_start();
session_name(testing sessions);
print "<p>$session_id</p>";
?>
Or if you want to assign session vars, or unique variables you can do
something like this
<?php
$unique_number = rand();
// generates a uniqe number
session_start();
// starts the session
session_name($unique_number);
// names the session the unique number
session_register($unique_number);
// registers the unique number as a session var
print = "<p>$unique_number is your session id</p><p>$unique_number is your
registered variable</p>";
?>
If you go to php.net you can look up session() in the function list and it
will break it down alot better for you
