NAME
    Apache::Session::PHP - glues Apache::Session with PHP::Session

SYNOPSIS
      use Apache::Session::PHP;

      tie %session, 'Apache::Session::PHP', $sid, {
          SavePath => '/var/sessions',
      };

DESCRIPTION
    Apache::Session::PHP is an adapter of Apache::Session for PHP::Session.
    It uses following combination of straregies:

    Generate: MD5
        PHP4 session also uses 32bit session-id, generated by MD5 of random
        string. So MD5 (default) generation would fit.

    Serialize: PHP
        uses PHP::Session::Serializer::PHP.

    Lock: Null
        PHP4 uses exclusive flock for session locking. In Apache::Session,
        we use Null for locking and Store module executes flock on opening
        the session file.

    Store: PHP
        similarto File store, but file naming scheme is slightly different.

NOTE
    PHP does NOT have distinction between hash and array. Thus PHP::Session
    restores PHP *array* as Perl *hash*.

      Perl  =>  PHP  => Perl
      array    array    hash

    Thus if you store array in sessions, what'll come back is hash.
