I have a php app that uses a session to share data across requests (using session_start()) I have a situation where a user wants to open 2 invocations of the app in 2 browser tabs and look at different things, but because of the session, both tabs have the same data. Is there a way to have a separate session for each tab they open?

Yes, this is possible because I have implemented this feature in my framework. It allows any user to have any number of independent sessions in any browser. My solution is documented in www dot tonymarston.net/php-mysql/client-clones.html

Tony- wanted to let you know that after I implemented this I found I didn't even need the "new session" link: <a href="HTTP://whatever/script.php?action=newsession&session_name=menu0">new session</a> Because the code expects to get the session name from the URL, since the main page doesn't supply that, I automagically get a new session every time I bring up a new instance from the main page.

I only use the 'new session' link if I have cloned the current web page into another browser window as the cloned window starts off with the same settings as the original window, and therefore the same session. By pressing the 'new session' link in either one of the two browser windows I force that window to use a separate session. -- Tony Marston http://www.tonymarston.net http://www.radicore.org
