user-defined session handlers. I'll start with how I have set up the handlers, please correct the process if it is wrong:
-- BOF -- function sess_open($save_path, $session_name) { // open a database connection } function sess_close() { // close the database connection } function sess_read($id) { // return data from saved record in db } function sess_write($id, $sess_data) { // write $sess_data to record in db } function sess_destroy($id) { // delete record from db } function sess_gc($maxlifetime) { // delete expired records from db } session_module_name('user'); session_set_save_handler( 'sess_open', 'sess_close', 'sess_read', 'sess_write', 'sess_destroy', 'sess_gc' ); session_start(); // php code for page goes here -- EOF -- Doing things that way, everything seems to work.. sorta.. one major exception, though: function redirect_page($url){ session_write_close(); header("Location: ${url}"); exit(); } session_write_close() does not call my sess_write() routine. Instead it seems to be using PHP's default files method every time. Because of this, I am forced to call my lower-level routine directly: sess_write(session_id(), serialize($_SESSION)); This works as a work-a-round, but I would much rather use PHP's pre-defined session_write_close(). Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Mike -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
