Getting Session ID

I thought I understood how to grab the session id but in the
following 
code I am getting null for the session id:

foo
= Foo.new(:session_id => session[:session_id], 
:test_id => test.id)

I am closer I believe:


foo
= Foo.new(:session_id => session.id], :test_id => test.id)

Now the problem is that the session id I am getting is not
what I 
expect:

Processing . . . [POST]
  Session ID: d3aa0519df929116ea8e63cb353a1982
  INSERT INTO foo (`test_id`, `session_id`) VALUES(1,
30652084)

The session ids do not match.

Everything else aside... why on earth are you trying to
capture the  
session id? Rails is handling the user sessions for you, all
you need  
to do is work with the session object in your controllers
and views.  
I honestly can't think of a single reason why I would want
to grab a  
session id and then put it into one of my own tables...

The session isn't an AR instance so you're getting Ruby's
Object#id 
method which isn't what you want.

I believe that session is an instance of CGI::Session so you
probably 
really want session.session_id instead.

I'm not sure what the de-facto-standard is here.. but I
typically  
treat the session object as if it were a magical hash.

session[:session_id]... just like you'd do with params,
cookies, and  
flash.

foo
= Foo.new( :session_id => session[:session_id], :test_id
=>  
test.id )

Cheers,
