Do you mean, you read the above and you do not understand what it means?
In that case maybe you need a tutorial in the English language.

I mean - and I think this would be obvious to anyone who read what I said -
that an actual session should be explicitly copied using a program
like Unix "script".
That is not the same as giving "code snippets".

You seem to be singularly lacking in imagination.
I am sure there are lots of newbies - me for one - who do not understand
"how to put a file in a web directory".
Re your criticism of my rather mild remarks -
7/10 is a pretty good score by my account -
note that the author actually _asked_ for comments on the tutorial,
which was the only reason I posted mine.
I happened to be in the position of being a php newbie
who had just read the tutorial,
and it seemed to me that I was in a good position
to answer the author's plea.
If I had thought the tutorial was useless
I would not have bothered to reply;
I thought it was good (as I said) but could be improved.
