Context: I was going to build app using mod_rewrite (front page loading child pages), but got stuck on loading session_enabled pages from the front controller page.
Problem: The problem is that I use session_start() call twise, PHP page stops responding. Which is strange, the session_start function is harmless and they are called on different pages.
I've narrowed down the problem to this sample:
child.php file:
parent.php file:
Call to parent.php will make browser load infinitely. As soon as you comment one of session_start() calls - it loads instantly.
What is the source of the problem? I badly need session-enabled pages.
PS I can work it around by including pages, but they rely on URL params, I would like to avoid fixing them for sake of some kind of parameter proxies.
Besides that only one session can be used at a time. You need to call the session_regenerate_id function to generate a new ID:
if (session_id() != '') {
session_write_close();
}
session_start();
session_regenerate_id();
Otherwise the parent’s session ID would also be used for the child’s session.
