    If you have anything to add to our current logic, please send
    it in and we will add it to PHP. That will benefit all users.

    Otherwise, there are two cases:

    1. Pages which don't use a session

        => don't start a session
           => no header will be sent

    2. Pages which use a session

        => start the session
           => the appropiate headers will be sent
