Hi.
Is there a way to have multiple sessions open in one browser
(specifically, Firefox or Safari)? For example, IE does not transfer
session data from one window to another, however, Firefox does. So,
if one user opens a session and then his/her friend wants to open a
different session of that same program on the same computer, (s)he is
not able to without overwriting the first session data.
I have thought of one solution, but have yet to test it. Upon the
first user logging in, I could assign them as session ID (along with
the one that PHP creates). I could then verify that ID is being used
on each page. For the second user, I could create a different one and
do the same as the first. ????
<? // User 1
$_SESSION["my_special_id"] = abcd; // created upon logging in
if ($_SESSION["is_logged_in"] &&
$_SESSION["my_special_id"] == $_GET["my_special_id"]) {
// do stuff
}
?>
<? // User 2 in a different window of Firefox
$_SESSION["my_special_id"] = efgh; // created upon logging in
if ($_SESSION["is_logged_in"] &&
$_SESSION["my_special_id"] == $_GET["my_special_id"]) {
// do stuff
}
?>
Notice that they both share the same "is_logged_in" variable, but a
different "my_special_id" variable. Actually, I just noticed
something. If User 1 logs out and kills "is_logged_in", that would
also kill it for User 2.
I don't know. I've confused myself now. Any suggestions? Common
practices?
Thanks in advance,
~Philip
