Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/extensions.membership
---
The Core Extensions subsection of a document contains following note:
"These are not actual extensions. They are part of the PHP core and cannot be left out of a PHP binary with compilation options."

However, at least one of mentioned Core extensions, namely Sessions, does not fit into this description.

---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/session.installation
---
"Session support is enabled in PHP by default. If you would not like to build your PHP with session support, you should specify the --disable-session option to configure."

Moreover, on some systems (namely FreeBSD) sessions are actually supplied as a separate package that is not necessary to be installed in order to use PHP.

Therefore, a conclusion can be done that either Sessions is not a Core extension or the definition of Core extension is not accurate.

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.
