I would assume by that error that you're actually trying to enforce a session ID yourself? I have heard of no problems since around PHP 4 of PHP issuing invalid characters. I know there was an issue in PHP of the session ID sometimes being null.

You could do the following, but I wouldn't recommend it because if there's a function you've written that's not performing well, then you'll want to correct it. For example, if the session ID is set as all invalid characters then the following would leave you with an empty session.

php Code:

$szSessionId = session_id();
$szSessionId = preg_replace('~[^a-z0-9]~', '\\1', $szSessionId);
session_id($szSessionId);
