Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-08 21:50:58] nlopess@php.net ehm, I wrote that.. :) looking to the sources, it does the same as session_destroy() (maybe this description is enough). That means it will call the 'destroy' function of the current session handler. If the default 'file' handler is used, it will just delete the associated file, but the $_SESSION var isn't unset. I'm a bit busy this week, could you please update the description with this info, please? Thanks, Nuno ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-08 21:13:50] betz@php.net changed summary ;-( ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-08 21:12:48] holliwell at gmx dot net Description: ------------ Hi, http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-regenerate-id.php The description of parameter delete_old_session is a bit vague. It is not clear what " Whether to delete the old session or not." does exactly mean. Are the session files on the server destroyed, the data in $_SESSION unset, or all together? What is happen to the session cookie, if cookies used? This issues should be clarified.
