Description:
------------
Hi,
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-regenerate-id.php

The description of parameter delete_old_session is a bit vague.

It is not clear what " Whether to delete the old session or not." does exactly mean.
Are the session files on the server destroyed, the data in $_SESSION unset, or all together?
What is happen to the session cookie, if cookies used?

This issues should be clarified.

Kind regards 

Friedhelm

ehm, I wrote that.. :)

looking to the sources, it does the same as session_destroy() (maybe this description is enough).
That means it will call the 'destroy' function of the current session handler.
If the default 'file' handler is used, it will just delete the associated file, but the $_SESSION var isn't unset.

I'm a bit busy this week, could you please update the description with this info, please?

Thanks,
Nuno

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

"Whether to delete the old associated session file or not."
