ID: 22526 Comment by: kalvinb602 at hotmail dot com Reported By: iberry at raxnet dot net Status: Closed Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4CVS, 5CVS New Comment:
Just posting to suggest that it would be nice to have this workaround posted in the manual for popen and other system command issuing functions. I resorted to blanking out the page to keep users from clicking a second link before the first finished loading to avoid a server hang. This workaround eliminates the need for that very clunky "fix" but it took me quite awhile to find it because I was digging through the manual. It might be a good idea to link the manual entries to the related bug reports. I'm using Apache 2.0.49 PHP 4.3.6 (upgrading soon) and Windows 2000 Pro.

Workaround is fixing the problem. Thanks, Andi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-02 16:36:43] iberry at raxnet dot net My initial tests show that the workaround is doing the trick! I will send out a message to have more users test this and report back. Thanks for pointing this out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-02 10:59:17] php_bug at cklowe dot com Workaround: use session_write_close() before the exec. You can use session_start() after the call if you still need to write session values. Reading doesn't require an open session. I've tested this somewhat, so please post how you get on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-10 03:01:49] riskisadventure at yahoo dot com I am having the simillar problem but with FreeBSD 4.7 All the page with session_strat() hang, if the one of the page with session_start() start hangging ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
