 ; Argument passed to save_handler.  In the case of files, this is the path
 ; where data files are stored. Note: Windows users have to change this 
 ; variable in order to use PHP's session functions.
+;
 ; As of PHP 4.0.1, you can define the path as:
+;
 ;     session.save_path = "N;/path"
+;
 ; where N is an integer.  Instead of storing all the session files in 
 ; /path, what this will do is use subdirectories N-levels deep, and 
 ; store the session data in those directories.  This is useful if you 
 ; or your OS have problems with lots of files in one directory, and is 
 ; a more efficient layout for servers that handle lots of sessions.
+;
 ; NOTE 1: PHP will not create this directory structure automatically.
 ;         You can use the script in the ext/session dir for that purpose.
 ; NOTE 2: See the section on garbage collection below if you choose to
 ;         use subdirectories for session storage

+; The file storage module creates files using mode 600 by default.
+; You can change that by using
+; 
+;     session.save_path = "N;MODE;/path"
+;
+; where MODE is the octal representation of the mode. Note that this
+; does not overwrite the process's umask.
