The most recently published version of Zend_Session documentation: http://framework.zend.com/wiki/x/iVc Comments may be added by readers to each wiki page, by first registering for a wiki/issue tracker account, and then emailing your username to cla@zend.com with a request to enable posting privileges. To run the unit tests for Zend_Session*, use a CLI version of PHP: $ cd /path/to/zend_framework/tests/Zend/Session $ php AllTests.php Simulation of multiple, sequential requests required the use of exec() using the CLI version of PHP. Additionally, issues discussed on the headers_sent() manual page also pose issues when trying to combine multiple test suites and avoid problems associated with output buffering, and headers "already sent".
