If the handler functions return false, that information is not passed back to session_start() or session_register(). So all error handling would have to be done in the handler functions :-( It is not possible to do something like if (!session_register('foo')) { echo ”bummer”; } - Jesper Juhl - juhl@eisenstein.dk
