Ever feel the default session handling is insecure? Or do you just want some originality to show off? Well, here you are. A custom, MySQL-based session handler. It supports base64_encoding and MySQL storage.

Note: I haven't tested this thing in months so I don't know how well it'll work : Good luck, hope you like it.

Configuration: All you gotta do is edit the MySQL configurations, the expire and GC probability (if you really want. its best left as is), and just include session.php in all your session-oriented scripts. =]

Please email me (kenleycapps@gmail.com) if you get ANY errors! Thanks.
