PHP & Sessions: Is there any way to disable PHP session locking?

Question

Is there any way to disable the session locking in PHP while using the default session handler?

[EDIT:] Or is there at least a way to restart a session after callin

Answer 1

You can restart the session by recalling session_start() after session_write_close(). However this will cause multiple SIDS. I resolve this by removing the multiple SIDS from the header before the output is flushed.
