I have had questions about this for a while. What is it about closing and reopening the browser that PHP "notices" and that invalidates the old session? Also a comment ... I think with the right combination of session_id() and session_name() calls you should be able to run multiple sessions on the same browser at the same time. I have never tried it but I did have a client with an interest in it and I looked enough to say "well, I think this is feasible -- we'd have to try it to be sure". -- Tom
