Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

I reconsturuated the problem with the Session_id.
I found out that "session_start" generates a new session_id every time, if the session.cookie_path-parameter in the php.ini is not set up right.

Look at your php.ini-File. If the session_cookie_path-parameter is set up to session.cookie_path = / , all things are right. If there is another value than '/', this could be the reason for the problem.
