+- Session:

+ could be any length between 22 and 256. Note: Max size of session ID depends
+ on save handler you are using.

+ . session.hash_function
+ . session.hash_bits_per_charactor
+ . session.entropy_file
+ . session.entropy_length
+ . New INIs and defaults
+ . session.sid_length (Number of session ID characters - 22 to 256.
+ (php.ini-* default: 26 Compitled default: 32)
+ . session.sid_bits_per_character (Bits used per character. 4 to 6.
+ php.ini-* default: 5 Compiled default: 4)
+ Length of old session ID string is determined as follows
+ . Used hash function's bits.
+ . session.hash_function=0 - MD5 128 bits (This was default)
+ . session.hash_function=1 - SHA1 192 bits
+ . Bits per character. (4, 5 or 6 bits per character)
+ . Examples
+ MD5 and 4 bits = 32 chars, ceil(128/4)=32
+ MD5 and 5 bits = 26 chars, ceil(128/5)=26
+ MD5 and 6 bits = 22 chars, ceil(128/6)=22
+ SHA1 and 4 bits = 48 chars, ceil(192/4)=48
