[Resolved] sessions again

mailtome

How do u guys handle multiple sessions??
i.e, opening different browser windows by running
iexplore.exe or clicking IE icons and opening the application. My sessions are mixing up.
Do you store the session in database or pass the session_id via get or post.

what i mean is
suppose i log in my site using username "test".
At this time I set $SESSION['name']="test".
And I use $SESSION['name'] inside my application to print the username.
Now if I open another browser & log in with "another test" the session variable is overwritten.Another session is not created.

Doesn't matter; there may be multiple windows open, but chances are there is still only one instance of IE running - and one session between it and the server.

Ya very true only one session is established (i.e there is only one session file in my session.save_path) . But I dont want this. I want that each time a new session is created whenever the user opens a new browser & enters my url.

What, several browsers open at the same time?

Then they'd have to be several different browsers - or a browser which can run as multiple instances.

What on Earth would you need such functionality for, anyway? (How do we handle them? Why would we need them?)
