I noticed that, which is why I asked.  The comment in session4.inc says,
however:

* WARNING: code is untested!
*

Which leads me to conclude that the code may not yet be ready for a
production environment.  Some of my hosting customers depend on phplib
session management for proper functioning of their websites.  One person on
this list replied to me saying that he was using phplib with php4 session
management successfully on a production site, but I do take warnings such as
the above pretty seriously when it comes to deploying software for my
customers.
 
Assuming that this code is production ready, what modifications, if any, are
required on existing pages using php database session management to convert
them to using native php4 session management under phplib?  I know, for
instance, that page_close() isn't required if one is using php4 session
management, but I would hope that I wouldn't have to make sure that all my
customer sites with page_close() in one or more of their pages wouldn't
require that a null function be defined somewhere for them so as to avoid
generating an error.
