note 90968 added to function.session-start

I ran into a problem that has a solution that may not be quite intuitive to people (well, atleast it wasn't for me). I had one script that called session_start() and that script would run for an indefinite amount of time. I had a second script that would also call session_start(), but would only run for a few seconds each time it is called. Here is where the problem occurs: Once session_start is called from the long living script, no other script can call session_start until that long running script calls session_commit() (session_write_close()) or ends. In any case, this may have seem very intuitive to others, but having an abstracted system in place, I never see the session management at the script level, so it was hard to figure out what was locking any other requests. Hope this helps others. ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 209.63.134.99 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/90968 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90968/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90968/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90968/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90968/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90968/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90968/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90968 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/90968 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
