session_id

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

session_idGet and/or set the current session id

Description

string session_id ([ string $id ] )

session_id() is used to get or set the session id for the current session.

The constant SID can also be used to retrieve the current name and session id as a string suitable for adding to URLs. See also Session handling.

Parameters

id

If id is specified, it will replace the current session id. session_id() needs to be called before session_start() for that purpose. Depending on the session handler, not all characters are allowed within the session id. For example, the file session handler only allows characters in the range a-z A-Z 0-9 , (comma) and - (minus)!

Note: When using session cookies, specifying an id for session_id() will always send a new cookie when session_start() is called, regardless if the current session id is identical to the one being set.

Return Values

session_id() returns the session id for the current session or the empty string ("") if there is no current session (no current session id exists).

Changelog

Version Description
5.0.0 The , (comma) and - (minus) characters are allowed in the file session handler.

It may be good to note that PHP does not allow arbitrary session ids. The session id validation in PHP source is defined in ext/session/session.c in the function php_session_valid_key:

https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/session/session.c

To put it short, a valid session id may consists of digits, letters A to Z (both upper and lower case), comma and dash. Described as a character class, it would be [-,a-zA-Z0-9]. A valid session id may have the length between 1 and 128 characters. To validate session ids, the easiest way to do it use a function like:

<?php

function session_valid_id($session_id)
{
    return 
preg_match('/^[-,a-zA-Z0-9]{1,128}$/'$session_id) > 0;
}

?>

session_id() itself will happily accept invalid session ids, but if you try to start a session using an invalid id, you will get the following error:

Warning: session_start(): The session id is too long or contains illegal characters, valid characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and '-,'
