Req #47964 [Com]: session_write_open request

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47964&edit=1 ID: 47964 Comment by: post at bjornjohansen dot no Reported by: corin dot lawson at gmail dot com Summary: session_write_open request Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Session related Operating System: * PHP Version: * Assigned To: yohgaki Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The issue with using session_start() to reopen a session for writing is that it resends the session cookie, even if the HTTP headers have been sent. This means that currently, one have to use output buffering. If something like session_write_open() existed, one would be able to write to the current session even after the HTTP headers have been sent. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-10 08:24:27] yohgaki@php.net I think you are able to following with current maintained PHP. (5.4/5.5) session_start() session_commit() // Slias of session_write_close() session_start() // Start session again. If not, please open new bug report (or it may be here, so search bug db before submiting) I also implemented session_abort() which just ends session w/o writing. It may be useful to you. It available from 5.6 or later, though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-31 03:30:50] yohgaki@php.net This issue is related to session_start(); seseson_write_close(); session_start(); problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-04-14 04:22:20] corin dot lawson at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The function session_write_close is very useful to permit concurrent page loads by releasing the lock on the session data ASAP. It would be useful to have a function to get that lock back and read session data again, namely session_write_open or session_read_write_open. (Also, session_read_only_open would be desirable for comprehensiveness.) Currently, session_start can be used but this has the unnecessary effect of setting/sending the cookie again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47964&edit=1
