php session.name,PHP session_name 用法 手册 | 示例代码

The description that session_name() gets and/or sets the name of the current session is technically wrong. It does nothing but deal with the value originally supplied by the session.name value within the php.ini file.

Thus:-

$name = session_name();

is functionally equivalent to

$name = ini_get('session.name');

and

session_name('newname);

is functionally equivalent to

ini_set('session.name','newname');

This also means that:

$old_name = session_name('newname');

is functionally equivalent to

$old_name = ini_set('session.name','newname');

The current value of session.name is not attached to a session until session_start() is called. Once session_start() has used session.name to lookup the session_id() in the cookie data the name becomes irrelevant as all further operations on the session data are keyed by the session_id().

Note that changing session.name while a session is currently active will not update the name in any session cookie. The new name does not take effect until the next call to session_start(), and this requires that the current session, which was created with the previous value for session.name, be closed.
