Why try to improve something that works perfectly?[/quote]
Depends on your definition of perfectly.
I personally can't appreciate it when a server makes decisions for me. And I have plenty of examples where destroying the session on browser close is not a good idea...
With the session library I can decide (or in this case the admin of our CMS) when to have the session expire.[/quote]
If you want to have $_SESSION extended past browser close, you simply use session_set_cookie_params(). The server never makes decisions for you, and this session_set_cookie_params() function allows for a persistent cookie! Yay for $_SESSION!
