Blows that theory away. :-)
I still believe what's happening is the edit script is being executed before
the parent script has died. Are you doing some kind of looping background
process or something that's keeping the parent script from exiting?
As far as I know you cannot have two instances of the same session running
simultaneously. The way I understand sessions it should be systemically
impossible to do so unless there's some kind of flock'ing option for session
files that I don't know of. Of course that doesn't mean PHP won't let you
try.
You need to avoid this situation by -> killing that parent script<- before
the edit script is launched. You can ensure this with output buffering as I
suggested before. Becuase you're controlling the output there won't be a
button to press until the parent script has died.
ob_start();
//script here//
ob_end_flush();
