If you only look at the default $_COOKIE["PHPSESSID"] to figure out what session you are handling then you get one per client, but if you had a way to set multiple cookies (easy) and to know which one you cared about on the next page load (harder, but at least it seems doable in the URL) then you can run multiple sessions. Maybe that's what you meant by "roll your own" ... -- Tom
