[Resolved] [Resolved] Sessions and Multiple browsers

spags

I don't want multiple browsers (of the same site, on the same PC) to have the same session, is there any way around this?

(Like a user is on one of my pages, and they control-N to open a new window or right click, open in a new window)

I'm not sure you can do that.. A client has a session_ID until either A)Session timesout, 😎Session is destroy or unset c)Client closes the broswer and opens a new one.

The only way I can think of is check to see if a session is set first and if it is change the name..

$session_name = 1;
if (isset($_SESSION[$session_name])){
	$session_name = $session_name+1;
}

Then just refer to your session by the var..

Is this a serious security issue?

It will probably entail some detailed redesign...cookies will have to be used ... (twice!), compared to database entries, timed, IP's logged and compared, etc. etc.....

well, I decided there was no way around it, and pass variables with the form submit. It wasn't a security issue, but would surely confuse someone who had two windows open.
