Bug #63963 [Com]: Session save does not always happen.

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63963&edit=1 ID: 63963 Comment by: jkm9000+php at gmail dot com Reported by: jkm9000+php at gmail dot com Summary: Session save does not always happen. Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Session related Operating System: OSX/Linux PHP Version: 5.4.10 Assigned To: arpad Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thanks for the clarification Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-06-04 21:25:44] arpad@php.net It's the same lack of writing the session before deciding the request is done. Also added to the Symfony bug report: Another thing to note is that object oriented session handlers rely on a shutdown function (if session_write_close hasn't been called) because of object dtors which might need the session. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-06-04 21:17:18] jkm9000+ph at gmail dot com Why would this happen when using apache and mod_php though? That was the original environment it happened under. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-06-04 20:48:34] arpad@php.net The issue is that fastcgi_finish_request() doesn't try to finish the session for that request, therefore the session isn't written until the (presumably long running) request is actually finished. I think this behaviour is correct. If you want to finish the session before this point, you can as Drak noted call session_write_close() explicitly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-01-21 19:46:46] drak@php.net It's been reported that calling session_write_close() before the fastcgi_finish_request(); call fixes it. Seems like a PHP bug.
