#20421 [NEW]: Would come handy: session_abort()

From: ernest@vogelsinger.at Operating system: any PHP version: 4.2.2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Would come handy: session_abort() What happens to a session when a script gets aborted? I don't believe there can be a one-shot solution for all situations, and I can easily imagine that one would want to keep the session data, but doesn't want to save anything changed _just_now_ (similar to a transaction rollback). A function session_abort() or session_reset() could do just this - abort any open session without modifying the session storage. Having such methods one could decide in a registered shutdown function how to proceed. session_abort() Works similar to session_write_close() except that it doesn't store session data session_reset() Rereads the $_SESSION superglobal from stored session data, destroying any modifications so far. The session remains open.
