ID: 28856 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: pubnelle at megaphone dot ch Status: Open Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Mac OS X server 10.3.4 PHP Version: 4.3.6 New Comment:
The suggestion there to use include/require was intended to mean a local include/require not an external one. In a typical Apache setup any files accessible to one virtual host is going to be accessible to another. Not directly via http of course, but PHP's include uses the filesystem so it would be something like: include '/var/www/example.com/file.php'; as opposed to: include 'http://example.com/file.php'; The former is an order of magnitude faster than the latter. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-21 07:52:05] pubnelle at megaphone dot ch That definitely makes sense ! There are plenty of times when you need to include a file that is on the same server ! Here, it is to use a Content Management System, which has more rights on the databases, and which is not directly accessible by our clients. When it is not localhost, it can simply be another virtual host, by the way. We use it often. In the virtual() doc : "As of PHP 4.0.6, you can use virtual() on PHP files. However, it is typically better to use include() or require() if you need to include another PHP file. " It is not precised if this is for http include or local include, that's true. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-20 23:03:09] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Why are you using an http include to localhost? That makes no sense. You have fast direct access to this file already. Just include it directly. If you really need it to act like a completely separate request (which you shouldn't) use a sub-request via virtual(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-20 19:57:22] pubnelle at megaphone dot ch Description: ------------ session_start() causes apache process to hang when a call is made, via http include, to another php script which stores the session files at the same location. It create an http get error in the log files eventually - I had a hard time to find the problem... I upgraded the version of PHP from 4.3.1 built in OS X server to 4.3.6, same problem. I upgraded Apache from 1.3.28 built in OS X server to 1.3.31, same problem. We really need this, to link a shop to a content management system, using the same session information to follow up the caddie stuff ... It helps to use the workaround of bug #22526, to close the session, but is this really the only solution ? this is painfull ... Reproduce code: --------------- <? session_start(); $urltoinclude="http://localhost/index.php"; include("$cmsurl/index.php?" . session_name() . "=" . session_id()); ?> Expected result: ---------------- The file included ;-) To reproduce it, you need to put this code in a page that registers the sessions at the same location than the included URL. Actual result: -------------- White page hanging ... something appearing eventually (without the include) after some time, exactly 2 minutes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28856&edit=1
