<?php
session_start();
// variant 1 to find session ID
echo session_id();
echo ”;

// variant 2 to find session ID
$session_ccokies=explode(’;',$_SERVER['HTTP_COOKIE']);
foreach($session_ccokies as $cookie)
{
list($cookie_name, $cookie_value)=explode(’=',$cookie);
if (trim($cookie_name)==’PHPSESSID’)
{
$session_id=$cookie_value;
}

}

echo $session_id;
?>
