Hello,

The PHP manual says it is the developer's job to ensure PHP sessions cannot
be stolen or "fixed" (this is called Session Fixation).

To minimise the risk of session fixation, I wrote a patch for PHP-4.3.5 (I
can port it for the other versions too - just ask...), that makes (almost)
sure the current user IS the session creator. It is based on client IP
addresses.

This patch is available at: http://www.trickytools.com/php/sesfixpatch.php

If you think this could be useful, it could be improved and someday be part
of the official distro.
