In an ideal world, the line of code did 'session_start();' would have been designed in your code to be in ONE file that got included by everything else. In that case, you would only have one (1) file to edit, in which you would do http://php.net/session_set_save_handler (or whatever it is) Now, assuming you've got a zillion session_start() lines scattered through your files, you should consider doing two things. 1. Fix it the "Right Way" (tm) and move all those into a 'globals.inc' include file that all those files <?php include 'globals.inc';?> 2. Quick hack use php.ini auto_prepend feature to force a file to be executed at the top of every file in your site. This may be a short-term way to keep working while #1 is the long-term project... OTOH, a good sed script, or even just a real long vi session with :%sg :wn can fix the session_start() problem the right way, so it's not gonna take THAT long to do it right.
