ID: 31464 User updated by: wildmaple at yahoo dot com Reported By: wildmaple at yahoo dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.0.3 New Comment:
Thanx alot [EMAIL PROTECTED] you show me the bright way out, it is the session file's lock blocked the script, and session_write_close() solves it appropriately. but, may i point out another phenomenon, which puzzled me a great. before we received your message about this bogus bug, we made another test, a monitor program(something that transports and inspects data flowing between processes in network environment, running on a third machine) interfered scriptA.php (SoapClient::__call()) and scriptB.php (SoapServer::handle()), and without commenting out session_start() or adding session_write_close(), scriptA.php and scriptB.php both worked out exactly as we expected. can you give some explain about this? i am alittle confused, why php blocks scripts using the same session files as the previous, but does not block them when they ware executed by through monitor by the same previous script. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-10 08:13:35] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is indeed not a bug at all, the session extension needs to lock the session file so that concurrent updates can not corrupt the file. This means that all scripts using the same session file needs to be serialized. To improve performance you can use http://php.net/session_write_close as soon as you are done reading/setting session variables, which will remove the lock of the file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-10 04:39:31] wildmaple at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ i don't be sure if this is a bug, anyway i don't think it is logically acceptable. * A short script that reproduces the problem. we developed a service structure, using webservice tech(php5.soap). most things went well as we'd expected till we decided to make one service script access another one. we have 3 seperate sites under construction in the same linux box, and maybe more sites coming. some services on one site will contact another on a second site, and we think this schema is easy to understand and develope. scriptA.php makes an SoapClient->__call() to scriptB.php , which serves well using SoapServer class when called from an binary client programmed with c++. then scriptB.php blocked when it got to the line where session_start() resides. when we commented out session_start(), scriptB.php worked out as fast as possible, but we lost support of session tech here, that is not acceptable as we designed. btw, we tried other ways to solve this problem, but all failed at function session_start(). some of the methods are xml-rpc and fsocket(writing and recieving soap envelope handly or xml-rpc structures),pear-xml-rpc(pear's xml-rpc lib). * The list of modules you compiled PHP with (your configure line).

Actual result: -------------- blocked at the line where session_start() locates. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31464&edit=1
