That is not what I meant, changing the session save path is in no way
a great improvement in fexibility. I was referring to the following
function and it's possibilities:

void session_set_save_handler   (string open, string close, string read, st=
ring write, string destroy, string gc)

See some of the native sessions tutorials at all those developer sites
for some more on that. It gives you all the flexibility you need and
still makes it possible to use the fast and easy session handling
provided by PHP4

And you don't need access to any configuration file (that does apply
to other settings as well, there are ini_set and ini_alter).

Because we use emacs, son. They use vi.
