What is PHPSESSID in old SR forum threads URL's?

When reading some threads in the old SR forums I noticed the URL contained PHPSESSID followed by a string of what appeared to be random numbers. Wondering if anyone with Tech knowledge might know what this means?

As the name suggests. It's the php session id, it's usually not included in the url, but I guess they were passing it around up there for whatever reason.
