They are not helpful for various reasons. e.g. if you need
to ask whether a session was started, your architecture is
broken (a central place needs to manage sessions; that single
place must know whether a session has been started).
I haven't looked in any detail at these functions, but wouldn't you be able to prevent fixation by inquiring whether a particular session was already started? -- rather than PHP's current (IMHO flawed) behavior where a new session is simply started with whatever session is is passed in.
