Doc #55849 [NEW]: session_start() return value mismatch to docs

From: Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.3.8 Package: Session related Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:session_start() return value mismatch to docs Description: ------------ In http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php it's written that the return value of the function: Changelog Version Description 5.3.0 If a session fails to start, then FALSE is returned. Previously TRUE was returned. This information is wrong. With PHP 5.3.8 on my Fedora box in CLI mode, the function returns true, even if called a second time. It gives a notice that it does not work, but it returns TRUE.
