Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/session.constants
---
SID:
Constant containing either the session name and session ID in the form of "name=ID" or empty string if session ID was set in an appropriate session cookie. 

This worked in all previous versions (up to 5.6), but after update to php7 SID even contains value "name=ID" when a session cookie exists. 
In my PHP code cookies are used for sessions as default and as fallback (if user disables Cookies) session ID is transferred in the URL. But now the session ID is transferred everytime, because SID always contains "name=ID"

That might be related to bug #71974.
 [2016-08-25 10:54 UTC] archinf at archinform dot de 
php.ini main session related settings:

session.save_handler = files
session.use_strict_mode = 0
session.use_cookies = 1
session.use_only_cookies = 0
session.name = ID
session.auto_start = 0
session.use_trans_sid = 0

@cmb.php.net:

in bug #71974 session.use_trans_sid is set to 1 (in my case 0)

It's oversight. However, IMHO SID should be always defined as it might break apps define SID constant.

I'll fix this because some users may be relying on the feature that SID being empty when there is session ID cookie.

@yohgaki: Thanks, as workaround I check for the meanwhile session cookie existence (and SID match) with something like ...if(!((isset($_COOKIE[session_name()]))&&($_COOKIE[session_name()]==session_id()))){...

On dealing with SID following further question araised: What happens if session id is defined by cookie AND Url parameter (with different values)? Does PHP any kind of predefined priority/error handling in such a case?

Cookie has priority when session.use_cookies=1.
