Two sessions at the same time

[Christoph09]

So . . . is it possible to somehow have two sessions going at the same time? I have one session that stores user data, so I can tell if a user is currently logged in, and another one that stores temporary data, for form validation and etc.

I tried using session_name() along with session_write_close() but when I destroy the temporary validation sessions, the user data is destroyed too. Any way to do this?

you can store it in the same session. If you want to delete the temp data, all you have to do is unset what ever you want to destroy eg.

unset($_SESSION['temp']);
