What you can do, though, assuming you're using the latest version of PHP, is make $_SESSION a multi-dimensional array. So for one area of your site, you can assign variables to the session like this: $_SESSION['area_one']['value1'] = "This String"; $_SESSION['area_one']['value2'] = 10; Then, in another area, you can do the same thing, basically... $_SESSION['area_two']['value1'] = 'Something'; $_SESSION['area_two']['value2'] = 1000; Then...when you want to drop the session values for Area Two, you just do this: Unset($_SESSION['area_two']); ---John Holmes...
