note 78653 added to function.session-regenerate-id

I can't really figure this out, maybe someone can help. <?php session_start(); session_regenerate_id(true); if (isset($_SESSION['data'])) { $session = $_SESSION['data']; } else { $session = ''; $_SESSION['data'] = $_GET['data']; session_write_close(); } echo "Session: $session"; ?> Load the page with "?data=foo" to set some data. Then delete the query string and load the page again. Now start refreshing the page, perhaps just hold down F5 and let it go. Eventually your session data will be lost. I thought that maybe it was to do with writing the file too slowly on the server, but it seems much more likely to be the user's browser writing the cookie too slowly. You would think that the user would never access a page fast enough for this to be a problem, but with XmlHttpRequests going off quickly, it can and does happen. Unless I'm wrong, I don't think that setting the delete_old_session parameter to true is a good idea. Just encrypt your session data and let the garbage collection take care of things. ---- Server IP: 194.145.210.3 Probable Submitter: 217.42.108.152 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-regenerate-id.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78653 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78653/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78653/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78653/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78653/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78653/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78653/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78653 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78653 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
