when session_start() is called for a first time, it generates session_id and set a cookie for the browser. The common name for the cookie is PHPSESSID. You receive it on the refresh, because after the first load this cookie is known by the browser. When you hit the page for a first time, there is no set PHPSESSID cookie, so PHP WILL NOT have $GLOBALS['PHPSESSID'] variable (assuming register_globals is on in php.ini). If you want the id. Get it from session_id().
