Session file pretty print

Does anybody know of a tool/script which would format php
session files to a more readable form ??

This would be for debugging, now if you have lots of
stuff in a session, it's a pain to try to find anything
from the file.

Hi,

SOmething like this could help:
1) Open the file
2) unserialize it into some variable ($mySes)
3)
<pre>
<? var_dump($mySes); ?>
</pre>

That gives a better formatted overview.

This is not so simple, session data is not quite the same as serialize
data (there is an extra field for variable name).

And if session contains class objects, they should be defined
before unserializing...
