it is the name of cookie variable which stores the unique session ID string.
suppose you set session.name to SESSID in php.ini then a cookie variable named SESSID will be sent to client in which session ID string will be stored by client browser. If URL is used to propogate session variable then this is the name of GET variable which stores session ID string. e.g.: SESSID="sess_ab80d8a12221d9bf03f4e830c7e4fb74" The value of this cookie variable (unique session ID string) is used to restore related session variables in the called script. regards, -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Bannon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 10:29 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: what is session_name?
