Re: two php scripts with same $_SESSION variables

Hello, Thank you for the answers. The issue is that the same codes are in folders A and B. When they are run from two different browsers, I am getting the behavior I 'd like to see with two session ids being created and therefore no sharing of $_SESSION variables. But when the two apps are opened inside the same browser, the $_SESSION variables are shared and that makes sense because session_id() returns the same value. It would be be nice that when the app in A is running and the user starts the app in B, in the same browser widow, the server and php are instructed to realize that this is a brand new session and assign a new session_id() which would solve my problem. Is there a way to achieve that?

I have folder A with the following php script: <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['dummy']=10; echo $_SESSION['dummy']; ?> in folder B (same level as A), there is <?php session_start(); echo $_SESSION['dummy']; ?> when running the script in B, in can see the value 10. How can I make sure that the $_SESSION['dummy'] is not shared between the two scripts? I could change the name but that would not be convenient.

You'll have to change the name. The whole point of sessions is to allow scripts to share variables between requests. -Stut

So what your saying, is that.. you want a webpage open twice but with different session_id? The only way to do that would be to create a session_id yourself, eg. session_id(time().rand(0,1000)); Then pass that id through your scripts via POST or GET, start the session using that ID. You can then start as many sessions as you like. Darren
