Hi all,
I use the php script name as a key in the $_SESSION array to store script specific variables.
The problem with this approach is that if a user fires up multiple browser windows, they share the same $_SESSION data.
So then if they use the same script in two different browser windows, I get this cross-pollution of $_SESSION variable states.
The dream solution to this would be to have some ability to uniquely identify a clients browser window and incorporate this into the $_SESSION key along with the script name.
Does anyone know if this is possible, or alternatively another way of avoiding the issues I am faced with?
Thanks ... Ross
