If you'd like to store a users session in say..a database, to be retreived later..this function will return a text string that contains all the variables from that session, and the variables can be retreived later by plugging the string into session_decode()

This is very handy if say you have have to include a SID in the url string

Shouldn't this be: <pre> string session_encode(void); </pre> After all, it does return a string, not a boolean.

I quite agree.. it shud be string rather than bool. I can't seem to find a way to use it. Is it $x=session_encode() or is it simply session_encode()

If PHP is run on the server-side, how much use is session_encode or session_decode except to keep server-side variables in the URL string? Passing variables to the server through a web-form and then encoding them is pretty useless. I like cparrish's idea about encoding SID's, but otherwise I'm at a lost.

Perhaps for passing session information between servers, ie, User starts a session on ServerA, but ServerA sends User to ServerB for some reason or another, but Coder wants the session info to be carried between, so he uses session_encode to pass the session info on to ServerB through the URL... Does that sound right?
