Bug description:Sessions fail when running PHP as multiple users

Description:
------------
I'm running a website on which PHP runs as multiple different users on the


operating system, and I'm encountering problems when a visitor to the site
goes 

from a part where PHP runs as one user to another part where PHP runs as
another 

user.



Since PHP saves all sessions in one directory, it will attempt to load the
same 

session data as long as the visitor uses the same SID. When the session was


created by one user, it cannot be loaded by another. That is of course, in


itself, as it should.



I would argue, however, that the session filenames should contain the UID
of the 

user running PHP, so as to remove such conflicts. The resultant behavior is


probably reasonable, as the different users running PHP will most likely
not want 

to share session data with each other.
