I am trying to get a session created by a browser call to be used by a command line cli->curl php call (in this case, both calls to the same server and php.ini), for a set of flexible media import routines,
but the cli->curl call always starts a new session despite me putting PHPSESSID=validID as the first parameter for the url called by curl.
I was able to fix it by calling session_id($_GET['PHPSESSID']) before calling session_start() in the script called via curl.
