Fast and efficient PHP Session

[pabloxd10]

I currently have the following code for EVERY page on my website. Please could anyone confirm if this is a good practice to start and continue a PHP session?\[code\]//************************************************************//Session Settings//************************************************************$session_name = 'PHPSESSID'; $session_exp_time = 10000; $previous_name = session_name($session_name);//Set garbage collection parametersini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', $session_exp_time);ini_set('session.gc_probability', '1');ini_set('session.gc_divisor', '100');ini_set('session.name', $session_name);ini_set('session.cookie_domain', ''); //Session set to not be available to subdomainsini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 0);//Set the session cookie parameterssession_set_cookie_params($session_exp_time, '/', '');//Start or continue a session...@session_start();if (isset($_COOKIE[$session_name]))setcookie($session_name, $_COOKIE[$session_name], 2147483647, '');\[/code\]Please note that this script is included in EVERY page.Another related question:Should I set a custom session save path or should I just use the server's default session save path? What are the pros and cons? From what I understand, if you don't set a custom session save path, then chances are you might have some kind of conflict on a shared hosting? Please help enlighten.Thanks in advance!
