Using php or some other scripting language opens up the possiblities tremendously, and you can tighten up security by a significant degree.
Then there's copious real-world examples in the php scripting forum & its library.

Some of it's a bit hard to follow - your eyes start to glaze over - but if you go back and read it again after chewing on it awhile, it makes more and more sense. Since your first objective with sessions is security, you might actually want to first skim through that article quickly, ignore what you don't understand right off the bat, then go read the session stuff at php.net.
