I think something is wrong with the SessionHandler class and I dont know if it requires a bug report. According to the documentation at http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.sessionhandler.php the various methods return 0 for success and 1 for failure which is kind of backwards since 0 would normally be evaluated as false and 1 as true. This is in direct contradiction with the current expected behaviour of session_set_save_handler() http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php which expects true or false return values except for the read handler which should always return a string. What's the deal here? I think the return values really should be true and false for this class, as expected by session_set_save_handler() Regards, Drak
