Hello, Thank you for the answers. The issue is that the same codes are in folders A and B. When they are run from two different browsers, I am getting the behavior I 'd like to see with two session ids being created and therefore no sharing of $_SESSION variables. But when the two apps are opened inside the same browser, the $_SESSION variables are shared and that makes sense because session_id() returns the same value. It would be be nice that when the app in A is running and the user starts the app in B, in the same browser widow, the server and php are instructed to realize that this is a brand new session and assign a new session_id() which would solve my problem. Is there a way to achieve that?

How can I make sure that the $_SESSION['dummy'] is not shared between the two scripts? I could change the name but that would not be convenient. You'll have to change the name. The whole point of sessions is to allow scripts to share variables between requests. -Stut -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php ____________________________________________________________________________________ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?
