note 90968 deleted from function.session-start by peehaa

Note Submitter: kavih7 at yahoo dot com ---- 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.
