I should know this, but how do you echo a session id in PHP?

PHP:
<?PHP
//hopefully you've started your session....
echo "Session ID =. $_SESSION['sessionname'];
?>

supajason: neither does yours
phpasks: nor yours
I think it must be me, not you...

check this out:
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.session-id.php
you have to set the session ID or session_id() returns ""
Edit:
also make sure you set the session id before starting a session

Actually, it isn't you. supajason's code is fine, except that he used $ses_id to store the id but then used $sid in the echo. So just change $sid to $ses_id or vice versa and it should work fine.
