It should check if session is already started for integration with other applications ...
so i added in oauth_client.php on line 897 the following:

if (session_id() == '')
if(!session_start())
return($this->SetPHPError('it was not possible to start the PHP session', $php_error_message));


PHP 5.4 have a nicer solution to check (session_status() == PHP_SESSION_ACTIVE), but i think we should use this for now ...

Have a nice day,

I forgot to mention .. this is very annoying because it writes in log notice every time you login ... if session is already started :)

Real implementations should create a sub-class and override the StoreAccessToken and GetAccessToken functions to use an application specific storage, like for instance a database.

The default implementation of the class uses sessions because it is available in all PHP Web installations and does not require further configuration.

However, if you need to call an API when the user is not present, sessions will not work, so the base class implementation of the access token storage functions will not work.
