note 105596 added to function.session-regenerate-id

If you are trying to maintain 2 active sessions don't use session_regenerate_id(). Especially if the first session is closed and it's time to open the second. Because the session id is cached you also have to explicitly set it the second time. <?php session_name('PHPSESSID'); // redundant - here for clarity session_start(); // ...do stuff session_write_close(); // now switch to session 2... session_name('PHPSESSID_2'); if (isset($_COOKIE['phpsessid_2'])) session_id($_COOKIE['phpsessid_2']); // not doing this will simply reopen the first session again else session_id(sha1(mt_rand()); // dont use session_regenerate_id() here. Not creating a new id will create two cookies with same session id and same session variables session_start(); // ... do stuff with session 2 session_write_close(); ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 173.76.23.188 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-regenerate-id.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105596 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105596/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105596/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105596/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105596/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105596/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105596/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105596 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105596 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
