Re: SESSIONS, a weird, funny yet strange error happens to wrong people...

Does she use multiple browsers for your site? I think she is doing this. I'm not sure if session "files" handler is using flock() or not. It could be failing to open file, since file is locked. (I think it should lock file, since it's possible to get length 0 file w/o it) This problem will not occur unless someone accessing web site with multiple browsers that have the same session ID. This is possible when cookie is used for session. Since "files" handler is bundled, you have 2 options. 1) Modify "files" handler in session module. 2) Make your own session handler. (If you use database, why not use the database?)
