It was my understanding that by setting a cookie, the returning visitor should be automatically reconnected to viable (non-expired) session information with the use of session_start(). IOW, the session_start not only starts a session, but it also reconnects to existing session info. I don't think you need to worry about saving the session ID yourself; I believe PHP handles that. As long as the cookie is not deleted and the session info has not been purged (session configuration item), the latest session info should be recognized.
Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of that.

I want the session to continue when the user returns. My question is really: Should I save the session Id in a cookie? And if I should, the browser seems to need refreshing (IE6).
