This is in direct contradiction with the current expected behaviour of session_set_save_handler() http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php which expects true or false return values except for the read handler which should always return a string. What's the deal here? I think the return values really should be true and false for this class, as expected by session_set_save_handler() Expected result: ---------------- I would expect the methods of SessionHandler class to return back true or false for all methods except read() which should return a string, as expected by the session_set_save_handler() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60640&edit=1
