To test it you need to create 2 files as followed: file 1: main.php file 2: sub.php Reproduce code: --------------- file 1: main.php <html><head><title>file name: main.php</title></head><body> <?$_SESSION['var']=1; "echo The session variable ist set to ". $_SESSION['var'] ."</br>";?> <p><a href="sub.php" target="_blank"">call the sub.php file that opens the session variable &quot;var&quot; with the value 1, but:</a> <?// PHP doesn't wait for the child to finish execution! $_SESSION['var']=0;?> </body> </html> file 2: sub.php <?$text="You have opened the sub.php file, receiving a session variable 'var' which shuld have the value of 1 but _SESSION['var']=". $_SESSION['var']; echo $text;?> Expected result: ---------------- It MUST show the real value (1) before changing it to 0. you can test it on my server too: http://motion4u.sytes.net/phptest/main.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27478&edit=1
