I have a site in wich user can register, but everyone can navigate as
Guest, even if he/she is nt registered.
The problem is that I need session for registered user, but I don't
need them for unregistered ones!
So I tried to check if they already have an opened session (they are
registered), but to check it I have to do a session_start(), and this
will OPEN a session if it's not opened! So I'll have an opened session
for every guest I have in the site. This is difficult for me because I
would like session to last very long, and many empty session waste a
lot of space!

so session_start() must be like

void session_start()
{
  if( [cookie_on_client] == [sess_file_on_server] )
  {
    look_up_the_file [...]
  }
  else
  {
    // create new session
    create sess_file_on_server
    give corresponding cookie to client
  } ...
}

but I would need a function like

bool session_check()
{
 if( [cookie_on_client] == [sess_file_on_server] )
  {
    return true;
  }
  else
  {
    return false;
  }
}

Is it possible to do it with the PHP session API, without hacking the
code, go and read the session files,...?
any hint is appreciated.
