How unique is the php session id? I got the impression from various things that I’ve read that I should not rely on two users never getting the same sessionid. Isn’t it a GUID?

Session_id can indeed be duplicated, but the probability is very low. If you have a website with a fair traffic, it may happens once in you web site life, and will just annoy one user for one session.
This is not worth to care about unless you expect to build a very high traffic website or a service for the bank industry.
