That is not necessarily true. It does NOT have to be the very first
statement in the script, but BEFORE you want to start using the $_SESSION
array.

You need to check that you have a value in $_GET['SESSIONID'] before you use
it. Try this:

if (isset($_GET['SESSIONID'])) {
session_id($_GET['SESSIONID']);
} // if
session_start();
