<?php
 echo "session_start returned: ".(session_start()?"true":"false");
?>

Will always output false. The docs say this should ALWAYS return true. Perhaps a more appropriate behavior would be to return true on correct session init???

session_start() does not return anything.

I've changed its behaviour now to match the documentation, so it will always return true.
