Hi Alan I think this is primarily due to the fact that the phplib sessions were around before php built in sessions. In the current CVS for phplib there are some files that allow you to utilise php's built in sessions. This enables you to use file storage for sessions. I've been using the session4 stuff with phplib for a while and works well, but this is using db storage. I wouldn't imagine there will be a problem just using a different session container. As for the default distribution of phplib I don't know if this can use files for session storage I haven't had the need to find out.
