That would be an important argument for PHP. Using an explicit session_start() in every script is fine, too. I was thinking of a complete transparent approach where you put everything (paths, cookie name) into the configuration and register/unregister session variables dynamically (that is what you basically do with PHPLIB). Joe Random User may not need that functionality - I think we should go on to implement this basic set of functions. That should not be too hard. -- Regards, Sascha Schumann Consultant -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
