Description:
------------
According to the documentation at 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.sessionhandler.php the various methods return 0 
for success and 1 for failure which is kind of backwards since 0 would normally be 
evaluated as false and 1 as true.  This is in direct contradiction with the 
current expected behaviour of session_set_save_handler() 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php which expects 
true or false return values except for the read handler which should always return 
a string.  What's the deal here?

I think the return values really should be true and false for this class, as 
expected by session_set_save_handler()

Expected result:
----------------
I would expect the methods of SessionHandler class to return back true or false 
for all methods except read() which should return a string, as expected by the 
session_set_save_handler()

The documentation at php.net needs to be updated e.g. 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/sessionhandler.gc.php still shows the wrong return 
values. I noticed also that SessionHandlerInterface was also added since RC5 which 
is not yet documented.

Please don't assign bugs to other people - I'm returning this to open in case someone else can get to it first.

How can I join the documentation team?  I would like to contribute to this.

If you would like to handle this bug yourself, pop into #php.doc on EFnet IRC. 
I'd be happy to bring you up to speed on how the documentation is written.
