To php@apt7.com:
php-sessions *DOES NOT* store any session data in the client besides the session id. This means that
a user can takeover the session of another user if he knows (or guesses) the other user's
session id. (all web applications are vulnerable to this attack).
You can get a very good idea about how sessions work looking at http://phplib.netuse.de
