The problem I run into sometimes is: A user opens a IE instance and logs in. The same user, on the same PC, opens a new instance (not from "Open in new window..." but from iexplore.exe) and logs in again. Then he has two independent sessions until the data from both sessions get mixed up, showing data from one session in another. I can't think of any other problem but erroneous session_ids being sent. > If you use a pre-built PHP application that also uses PHP > session_id's, then that can cause a problem with your own > website if that also wants to use PHP session_id cookies. This is the only PHP app running, there are two more that sometimes run but they're JSPs. >I guess the obvious way would for PHP session_id's to allow >multiple session_id_name(s), so each PHP application can choose >it's own session_id to be know by.

Maybe this is in the pipeline for >a future release of PHP, or has it already been implemented? Not sure what you mean, but I already can use two sessions for a while. Perhaps I'm not getting through the language barrier, but I did not understand you. :/ Thanks! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
