On a shared server, every other PHP scripter can read your session data,
if they work at it a little bit.
How bad is that?
On a dedicated server, somebody has to get a login and/or upload PHP to
read the session data.
How likely is that? How bad is that?
Depends (a bit) what you are storing in the session data.
For truly sensitive stuff like a CC#, do *NOT* put that in session data.
Write your script to get the CC# via SSL, process it, and throw it away,
all in one single PHP script.
You only need to store the Merchant Server transaction ID.
