Description:
------------
When setting PHPSESSID in the URL the session cookie is not being set.

Config Settings:
session.use_trans_sid = 0 (also tried it on)
session.use_cookies = 1
session.use_only_cookies = 0

Tried this on version 4.4.2, 4.3.3, and 5.0.4. 4.3.3 and 5.0.4 set the cookie, 4.4.2 does not.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
session_start();
?>
<html>
<body>
<p>Session ID: <?php echo session_id(); ?></p>
</body>
</html>


Expected result:
----------------
Using something like:

www.example.com/?PHPSESSID=foo

I would expect it to set a session cookie PHPSESSID with a value of foo.

Actual result:
--------------
No session cookie was created.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Cookie is not set if the id is acquired elsewhere. RTFM.
