I think you will want to change your perspective a bit about the possible
problems that would result in this behavior. The session may very well be alive
and well, but if the client doesn't properly identify itself on the next
request, PHP will have no idea that there is a session for this client.

So, you want to test for different possibilities:

1. The session is in fact gone for some reason.
2. The client fails to pass PHPSESSID (or whatever you may have named it).
3. Both 1 and 2.
4. Something else specific to your session management mechanism.

Hope that helps.

Chris
