Connection blocked when downloading

[FlyingDutchman]

Hello everyone,

firstofall, thanks for this great component.
I had an issue on my site, where it was impossible to browse the site when there is a download running,

I solved it with "session_write_close()" before the while loop in the download function.

Greetz,
Dutch

Hi
Thanks for the useful comment.  As my php is 'simple' compared to Arno I looked it up.  There seems to be some thinking along the lines of doing something like the following

Code Select Expand

/*CLOSE THE SESSION WITH USER DATA*/
session_write_close();

code to do the downloading

/*START ANOTHER NEW SESSION*/
session_start();
session_regenerate_id(); //Regenerating SID

Would appreciate your comments
Colin

sry, my php-knowledge is very limited... learning by doing
I googled that solution and just wanted to share it for users with the same problem.

Regeneration the sessions sounds a good thing to do, as stated here:
