  <para>
   <function>session_id</function> is used to get or set the session id for
   the current session.
  </para>
  <para>
   The constant <systemitem>SID</systemitem> can also be used to
   retrieve the current name and session id as a string suitable for
   adding to URLs. See also <link linkend="ref.session">Session
   handling</link>.

       <para>
        If <parameter>id</parameter> is specified, it will replace the current
        session id. <function>session_id</function> needs to be called before
        <function>session_start</function> 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 <literal>a-z, A-Z and 0-9</literal>!
       </para>
       <note>
        <simpara>
         When using session cookies, specifying an <parameter>id</parameter>
         for <function>session_id</function> will always send a new cookie
         when <function>session_start</function> is called, regardless if the
         current session id is identical to the one being set.
