Set session cookie in chrome

Question

I Try to use session on my site. Only my chrome doesn't work. When I Open my site, I get always new SET-Cookie with new PHPSESSID. (this is not SSL site and I'm not using incognito mode)

PHP CODE:

session_start();
$_SESSION['name'] = 'xyz';

Response Header:

Cache-Control:no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate
Connection:keep-alive
Content-Type:text/html; charset=UTF-8

Pragma:no-cache
Server:nginx/1.10.3 (Ubuntu)
Set-Cookie:PHPSESSID=t3t7efdk9ljpt1vrn62rmv2647; path=/
Transfer-Encoding:chunked

Accept-Encoding:gzip, deflate
Accept-Language:pl-PL,pl;q=0.9,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.7

After reload page - In Request Header - there is not 'PHPSESSID' cookie. Other cookies work fine.

I test the same site on Microsoft Edge - and everything was ok.

Setting $_SESSION['name'] does not set the name of your session that will be used in cookies.

Your session name is PHPSESSID. This is set during session_start from the PHP session.name setting. This is what will be used in your cookies.

Your request headers showing Cookie: xyz=va; will not resume the session you started. They should be as per the response headers.

Cookie: PHPSESSID=t3t7efdk9ljpt1vrn62rmv2647
