=head1 NAME

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

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Apache::Session::PHP;

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

=head1 DESCRIPTION

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

=over 4

=item Generate: MD5

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

=item Serialize: PHP

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

=item 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.

=item Store: PHP

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

=back

=head1 NOTE

PHP does NOT have distinction between hash and array. Thus
PHP::Session restores PHP I<array> as Perl I<hash>.

  Perl  =>  PHP  => Perl
  array    array    hash

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