Php Sessions hang

[David]

I am running gentoo linux with apache-2.049 and php-4.37. Php is working fine but on any script if I
use a ...
session_start();
the browser will hang. I see the session in /tmp and can use phpinfo to see the cookie has been set but it hangs, no error's nothing. Does any one have an Idea of where I should look?

I guess not since no one answered ;)

what do you mean by "it hangs"? Does the page just load forever and never finish?

[David]

Thanks ..

Yea it just tries to load for ever. This thing has me totaly stumped.

Maybe something in this bug report will help:

[bugs.php.net...]

Thank you Bcolflesh!

The work around solved my problem.

I have to manually close the session on each page.

session_write_close(void);

I don't totaly understand why but it works for now.

Thanks Again
David
