----------------------------------------------------

We use sessions stored in the database, and so we have this code in our auto_prepend_file:

           include_once("session.inc");
           session_start();

session.inc defines functions sessionOpen, sessionClose, sessionRead, sessionWrite, sessionDestroy, sessionGC, and at the very end of the php code in that file, it does this call:

session_set_save_handler(
        "sessionOpen",
        "sessionClose",
        "sessionRead",
        "sessionWrite",
        "sessionDestroy",
        "sessionGC");

We wanted to change sessions from being saved in the database to being saved in files, and noticed today that even when we set session.save_handler = files in php.ini, the above call to session_set_save_handler seems to still take effect and force sessions to be stored in the database.  Here's a quote from the set_session_save_handler documentation:

                               Note: You must set the configuration option session.save_handler to user in your php.ini file for
                               session_set_save_handler() to take effect. 

Is this a bug in PHP 4.0.6?

Thanks.
