Based on what posts about writing to a session in PHP state it is highly 
recommended to execute a session_write_close() before a header redirect 
as it can be that the browser already got redirected before the server 
is done writing the session data. With session_write_close() that will 
be guaranteed before anything else happens.

But based on a different thread we shouldn't use sessions anyway, right?
