Hmmm....

This is interesting:

<?php
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/session_handlers.php');
$shutdown_params = array();

$_SESSION['name'] = "bob dobbs";
$_SESSION['time'] = date('r');

$shutdown_params['sess'] = $_SESSION;

function bye(){
	global $shutdown_params;
	if(connection_aborted()){
		mail('spam at example.com','script
aborted',print_r($shutdown_params,TRUE));
	}
}
register_shutdown_function('bye');

for($i=0; $i< 1e2; $i++){
	echo "$i<br>\n";
	flush();
	$_SESSION['cointoss'] = ($i%2 ? 'heads':'tails');
	sleep(1);
}
echo 'Fin!';
?>


I will get 'heads' or 'tails' for my 'cointoss', most of the time. Just to
try it out, I aborted the script right after the it echo'd '1' to the
browser -- the email I got was this:

Array
(
    [sess] => Array
        (
            [name] => bob dobbs
            [time] => Fri, 17 Sep 2004 17:31:21 -0400
        )
)

!!!

No cointoss! Though you'd expect that it would be written to the SESSION
when the cointoss statement was reached...looks like writes to the SESSION
might be lazy, and maybe thrown away sometimes?
