Is there a way to achieve that? I think that what you want is a different session *name* for each application. To get this, just call session_name() with the appropriate value immediately before every session_start(). For example, for the files in A you could use: session_name('SESSID_A'); session_start(); whilst those in B would have: session_name('SESSID_B'); session_start(); Cheers!
