    They are not helpful for various reasons.  e.g. if you need

I haven't looked in any detail at these functions, but wouldn't you be able to prevent fixation by inquiring whether a particular session was already started? -- rather than PHP's current (IMHO flawed) behavior where a new session is simply started with whatever session is is passed in. -Hans
