Yeah, I realized I was thinking inside-out after I slept on it.
mea culpa

Actually, I'm blaming the DaQuil...

It does seem "odd" to me that from within a PHP script you can't just
send the headers you want and whatever consequences that has...

But then I guess we'd have a TON of scripts violating standards about
not sending more data after a 40x code, or worse.

Looks like it snoops through all the sessions it can find.

I suspect it will also NUKE the last session, where 'last' is whatever
order readdir() feels like returning, which is not defined as any
particular order...

At least, I assume that after setting $_SESSION to array() that last
time and ending, it's going to have nuked the last session...

It might actually nuke them all for that matter...

If session_decode() switches the ID around as well, then its gonna
nuke them all, no?

Maybe it's just a re-boot nuke all old sessions script...

Not necessarily. In shop POS services are not generally provided by the
banks either. They are usually provided by a seperate entity (which may be
*owned* by a bank or several banks [aka Streamline in the UK] and do not
necessarily provide online clearance as well [Streamline don't for example].
There are, however, a number of organisations that do online cc clearance
and will work in partnership with most of the offline clearing houses. Your
existing offline clearing-house/bank will usually provide you with a list of
these, although, they generally *won't* recommend any particular one.

Firstly, they are not competitors - they are business partners with your POS
provider and provide a service in conjunction with your existing provider.
They will not replace it - for the simple reason, these online clearance
companies are not banks - they are online payment *clearance* companies -
the actual payments are still conducted through your existing bank accounts.
