Two Sessions

denzlite

Hello there -

I need to have two login sections within one site. I'm using sessions to do this, but what I'm noticing is that if you login in to one area you can access the other area... I'm sure I'm not implementing this correctly:

	session_start(); // Start the session.
	// If no session value is present, redirect the user:
	// Also validate the HTTP_USER_AGENT!
	if (($_SESSION['agent'] != md5($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) OR (!isset($_SESSION['agent']))) {
		require_once ('includes/login_functions.inc.php');
		$url = absolute_url();
		header("Location: $url");
		exit();	
	}

How do I modify this code for the 2nd site so that when a session is set for the 1st site it won't have access to the 2nd?

Thanks.D

session_regenerate_id ?

write to a cookie as well
then give the two cookies different names - should work

devinemke

you could also simply give each session a unique [man]session_name[/man]

I tried the session name thing... but I can't get it to work... do you have to designate the session name at the top of each page contained within the session?

Thanks.

you must call [man]session_name[/man] prior to calling [man]session_start[/man]

other code omitted..

$sessname='boofar';
if (!isset($_SESSION[$sessname])) $_SESSION[$sessname]=array();

$_SESSION[$sessname][]= array ('login' => $login,'username' => $uname,'priv' => $currpriv);
asort( $_SESSION[$sessname]);

that works for me when run after session_start -
(cant remember why I had to asort it (..comments, comments)
would you advise against that devinemke?
