Hello, I am trying to do the following in one of my pages.
session_id($_GET['SESSIONID']);
session_start();

I am running php5, however as soon as I call session_start the script
hangs and nothing happens. Is anyone else experiencing this problem, or
am I doing something incorrectly?

Thanks!

session_start(); must always be listed at the top of every page.
like this :

<?php
session_start();


That is not necessarily true. It does NOT have to be the very first
statement in the script, but BEFORE you want to start using the $_SESSION
array.

You need to check that you have a value in $_GET['SESSIONID'] before you use
it. Try this:

if (isset($_GET['SESSIONID'])) {
session_id($_GET['SESSIONID']);
} // if
session_start();

Of course - you are absolutely correct Tony.

Thanks for clarifying my post.
