Is setting php.ini's session.auto_start to 1 considered bad practice?

Question

I was playing around with php.ini's session.start_auto and tried setting it to 1. The site I am building requires session management on every page anyways and the server only contains the one site. Is this considered bad practice (like having globals turned on - which I dont BTW!) - php.net doesn't say a lot about it.

Answer 1

Nah, why should it be? In principle, its the same as having session_start(); as the second line in every page.
