note 59558 added to ref.session

Be warned, when working with tab-based browsers like Opera and Firefox, sessions are preserved across tabs. These can be either a good thing or bad thing, depending upon your application. We found this to be problem, if we wanted to log in as two different users in two different tabs. This is not possible: either the second tab will have the information from the first, or logging into the second will replace the information in the first tab. If you close a tab, the session is still persistent. Only when you close the window will the session information be deleted from the browser cache. IE deals with sessions just fine. There is probably some way to adjust the settings in Firefox or Opera, but that is not the default, and will affect most users. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59558 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59558&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59558&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59558&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59558&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59558&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59558&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59558&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59558&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
