My problem is that I have a database system where I have a form to define a search pattern of the database which gets placed in session_vars. The user then can use a whole bunch of php pages to work with this search criteria. My problem is that if the user does "file new window" in the browser s/he can then define a new search pattern which would change the session_vars behind the back of the other window and cause havoc on that window. I really don't want to put the search criteria as part of the URI between all these pages and use GET to pull the data off as the user could fiddle with the line and again cause problems. It probably would be nice to be able to stop "file new window" from working but I have not found a way of doing this.
