ID: 29032 Comment by: jasper at bryant-greene dot name Reported By: antonr at game dot permonline dot ru Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: 5CVS-2004-07-06 (dev) New Comment: PLEASE FIX THIS BUG This is a serious show-stopper bug that is starting to make me want to stop using PHP. It has been annoying me for a while now, and I (and many others) would love to see it fixed. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-10 21:40:16] spam at cimmanon dot org This bug still persists in PHP 5.0.4 (my problem is related to output buffers being cleared before destructors are executed). Is the "latest CVS snapshot" mentioned by sniper@php.net [6 Mar 8:35pm CET] reflected in the 5.0.4 release [31 Mar]? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-14 01:00:10] php-bugs at lists dot php dot net No feedback was provided for this bug for over a week, so it is being suspended automatically.

There is a workaround... You CAN use register_shutdown_function in the constructor of your class public function __construct() { register_shutdown_function(array($this, '__destruct'); } and then the destruct is called early enough that you can modify $_SESSION. But this defeats the whole purpose of a destructor - I could do that in every class if php5 didn't support destructors (in fact I did in php4) but I thought the point was to eliminate messy workarounds. Now why in the world the sessions are closed in between when shutdown functions and destructors are called is beyond me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
