How is the SID generated in PHP sessions, and is it solely based on the result of md5(time())?

The SID in PHP sessions is generated using a combination of factors, including the result of md5(time()). However, it is not solely based on md5(time()) as other factors such as the server's IP address and user agent are also taken into account to make the SID more secure. To ensure a secure SID generation, it is recommended to use the session_regenerate_id() function after starting the session. 

<?php
session_start();
session_regenerate_id();
?>
