Session question

[scialom]

Hi all,

I have a site which 2 similar applications.
Each one is sitting under a specific directory
site/app1
site/app2

I am using a lot of the session and I was wondering how can I prevent from session that has created on app1 to be use by app2?

thanks!

You can't really prevent sessions from being used by sub-directory (that I know of), but per-domain you can. One thing you could do is add a new session variable called "domain" which holds the application name. If the session variable has a value of "app1" and they're in "app2", then kill and regenerate a new session for them. Otherwise, continue using the same one.

this is good idea! thanks 🙂

You could also try using [man]session_set_cookie_params/man to explicitly set the path to site/app1 or site/app2 so that two separate session are created.

session var is just an array, could use multidemision arrays

$SESSION[site1] =array() ;
$SESSION[site2] =array() ;
