It's broken under php4.. Search the archives for the patch (there are 2,
either should work)

No, any place is cool, but if your menu contains and calls to session stuff
(like $sess->url()) you'll need to call page_open() before calling menu
stuff. Generally, call page_open() as soon as you get to the point of
processing page info but after defining page specific functions

<?php

  function foo($thing) {
    return nothing($thing);
  }

  page_open(array("sess" => "MySess"));

   // This won't work if page_open hasn't been called
   // because the variable doesn't exist yet

  print(foo($someSessionRegisteredVarible));

?>

It's kinda handy... (be nice if it were template based :)
