Calling wp_current_user () in wordpress does not jquery

Question

I am creating a website in WP with the s2member plugin. I used these few lines internally where I used the s2member member code

 $current_user = get_current_user_id(); / get current looged in user ID
    $_SESSION['id']=$current_user;  // put that in session

I have requests what is the correct way to establish a session in WP? (I used set_session from above) Results:

jquery won't run after uncommenting the code above.
The gray bar on top of WP that shows the current logged in user goes blank does not show any logged in user.

I thnk that there is another way to establish a session in WP or it doesn't let you do that. Any help in this regard. Thanks to

Not sure about the context where this is used, but two things:

'id'

too much general argument, used everywhere, try 'u_id'

It comes to mind because of this WordPress Answer: List of reserved names in $ _POST and $ _REQUEST used by WordPress 3.5
$current_user

- WordPress core global variable, use a different name. And as stated in the linked answer, prefix everything .
