You can give it a name, but you don't have to. PHP will use the default name
if you don't and you'll just need to use session_start();

If you give the session a custom name, then, yes, you'll have to use that
name on every page. $name can be something that in an include file or a
constant, etc, though. Again, you don't _have_ to give a name, though.
There's no real advantage to using another name, though, as it's going to be
sent to the user in a cookie or the URL, anyhow.
