[PHP-DEV] sessions and http request serialization From: Peter Kocks (peter.kocks <email protected>)

Hi all,

I believe, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that php sessions force all
http requests from a browser to be handled serially. That is, if I'm using
a browser and php sessions, I can only make one request at a time of the web
server. The first request must complete before the second request begins.
I presume this was done so that two http requests cannot change session
variables simultaneously and therefore lead potential name space problems.

I have a need to run two php driven http requests simultaneously and also
want to continue using session variables. Is there a way to tell php, that
I am done using session variables for this http request and to allow the
next hit to the web server to proceed without blocking?

I see in the source that there exists a function called:

void _php_session_shutdown(void *data);

I think this is what I want, but it is not visible from within php itself.

Ideas?

Thanks
