The client sends cookies to pages in "http://www.yourserver.com/blah/blah"
but the script where you call session_start() is not in that directory,
so it never receives a session id from the client.

same as

session_set_cookie_params(nnnn, '/');

The client and the server are in synch! :)

Do not use session_set_cookie_params(), or, if you must, keep it short
and omit the 'path` parameter.
