Ok! I didn't know that was wrong to "top-post"... I think I know what it is now! :-) /G @varupiraten.se ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jasper Bryant-Greene" <jasper@bryant-greene.name> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Saturday, September 03, 2005 11:48 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Distinguishing between multiple browser windows for thesame php session

Please don't top-post [1]. This will not work. $_SELF isn't even a defined variable, unless you defined it yourself. PHP works on the server, *before* anything is sent on the client, so it has no way to know client-side things like what browser window you are in. You could place the value in a hidden form field with JS and then post back to the server, but something tells me you may be approaching the problem in the wrong way. Without more details I can't suggest alternatives, though.
