note 70235 added to function.session-start

I had a problem accessing a session which is open in another frame at the same time. I had a frame, which is displaying a live text like a chat. It has an opend and locked session. I tried to add data to this session with another frame, but this wouldn't work. In the first frame i had a loop which is looking for fresh data in the session and prints it out like this: <?php session_start(); [...] while (true) { echo $_SESSION["input"]."\n"; sleep(1); } ?> But this locks the session, and no other frame can access the session data at the same time. So i modified this loop a bit like this: <?php session_start(); [...] session_commit(); while (true) { ob_start(); session_start(); ob_end_clean(); echo $_SESSION["input"]."\n"; session_commit(); sleep(1); } ?> Now the second frame is able to access the session. The ob_start() and ob_end_clean() is just for surpressing the cookie output to the browser. ---- Server IP: 217.13.201.10 Probable Submitter: 88.72.158.117 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/70235 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70235/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70235/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70235/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70235/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70235/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70235/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70235 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/70235 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
