Re: PHP user session handlers

Done, I've just tested on PHP Version 5.2.0RC7-dev (today's snapshot) and get the same result. The code is: session_start(); $_SESSION['testing'] = $contents; session_write_close(); unset($_SESSION['testing']); session_start(); $newcontents = $_SESSION['testing']; session_write_close(); There is a php file prepended to all code executions that sets up the custom handler and it works for the first session_start, but on the second call to session_start, I get: *Fatal error*: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Failed to initialize storage module: user (path: /tmp/php_sessions) i.e. It still knows that it's a custom defined handler, but the references to the functions are gone. If I make a call to session_set_save_handler after the first session_write_close, the problem goes away. Of course, this isn't practical for a large number of sites. Glenn.
