In all of my code since upgrading to 4.3.1, I am able to use $PHPSESSID but not SID on my Windows ME machine.

Code:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
session_start();
print "SID: " . SID . "<br>" . "\$PHPSESSID: " . $PHPSESSID;
?>

Complete Browser Output:
SID: 
$PHPSESSID: e9a1fa61bbadb3756cc06052625b5e40

returns no undefined constant notices. It seems that the SID constant is defined but empty.

You need to read the manual once more:

"Alternatively, you can use the constant SID which is always defined. If the client did not send an appropriate session cookie, it has the form session_name=session_id. Otherwise, it expands to an empty string. Thus, you can embed it unconditionally into URLs."
