PHP 4.0 Bug #8978: Add a 'readonly' possibility to the session module

From: Maxim Derkachev <kot@books.ru> Operating system: PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Add a 'readonly' possibility to the session module Just faced the fact that the possibility to call session 'readonly' should be added. For example, when somebody calls a framed pages where all frames are php scripts that needs session variables. But in this case only one of them should be allowed to write session state, because every frame would write session state in an unpredictable order, and variables registered/changed in one frame could be overwritten by other frames, and that would definitely break an application. I suggest session_start could take an optional READONLY flag to disable write of the session data during the page shutdown. The idea is similar to call page_close() on only one frame in a framed page in PHPLib-based applications. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=8978&edit=1
