Description:
------------
These two documentation pages have conflicting views on wether SID is always defined or not. The first one says it only defined is the right cookie wasn't sent and the other says it is always defined.

Which one is it :)

http://jp2.php.net/session_id

Note that SID is only defined if the client didn't send the right cookie. See also Session handling.

http://jp2.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

Alternatively, you can use the constant SID which is always defined.

SID is always defined. Someone should fix that one manual page. :)

The constant 'SID' is defined to '' if the session id is set in a cookie for the request.

This is actually fixed already in CVS..the manual just hasn't been generated since that. Patience. :)

Jani,

when was this fixed? The generated docs are about two weeks old...
