The session module has been used by hundreds of users for months. Three people including you have complained about the warning. I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader how you got to the conclusion that you are talking for the majority. > why - E_NOTICE should print out reproduceable mesages that > might be of interest to the user IMHO. This is not very constructive. IMHO a developer using sessions in her project is interested in the status of the modules she uses. I'm still in favor of adding a new log-level which can be selectively enabled (as with E_NOTICE). If you dislike that proposal, I guess the current behaviour will stay. - Sascha
