All the session functions say PHP4, which is indeed correct. The table at http://www.zugeschaut-und-mitgebaut.de/php/ provides much more detail about exactly which release each function is available in. There is no built-in session support in PHP3. A reasonably popular, free, library of functions to support sessions is available, called PHPLib. You can find it at http://phplib.netuse.de/ . It does not work in exactly the same way as the built-in functions in PHP4, but it provides similar functionality. Your alternative would be to install PHP4 on your server, if it is under your control. If it is under the control of a commodity web hosting provider, expect them to wait some time to be sure PHP4 is stable before they upgrade.
