Sorry if I cause a rehash. What I don't understand is why there is the need to remove php_session_register_module(). IMHO forcing the session module to know about other session handlers at compile times is the wrong thing to do. I don't see why someone like RedHat could not make a "supported" RPM release of PHP in which other developers could write stand-alone shared library modules as save handlers. Save handlers do not extened the PHP language and have a rigid interface. Forcing a recompile and link just because you wish to add a few items to a structure seems an absurd, almost Microsoftian, thing to do. If we want to fix something that isn't working, we should fix it right. Let Micrsoft hard code stupidity, we are better than that.
