Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-01-23 12:18:33] sivasubraj at lycosmail dot com I feel that the feature I am going to describe is desirable for security reasons: The function session_start should return FALSE when the GET (or cookie) requests to resume a non-esistent phpsession. If there is already a (quick) way to prevent resuming non-esistent or closed phpsessions, please let me know, else please, add the feature to the TODO list. (I've set session_cache_limiter('private') and I *don't* want to set it to 'nocache'). Many thanks Siva ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=8855&edit=1
