Re: [PHP-DB] Two session for the same user, possible?
You can have two scripts talking to the same browser session by setting different session cookie names. Depending on which script is being loaded it will look at a different cookie to find out the session ID, once again, I have not tried it, but there is no reason why it wouldn't work, and not require option 1, 2 or 3 as Chris mentions below. -Micah On Friday 22 October 2004 12:55 pm, Chris Gregors wrote: The session information is bound to the users computer and the browser they use. option 1: user logs into app using a different computer (2 laptops) option 2: user logs into app using a different browser (ie and firefox) option 3: sessions have a lifetime of one screen (aka no session persistance). I use option 1,2 all the time. One session is godly and the second session is a luser session. c -Original Message- From: Micah Stevens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 5:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Two session for the same user, possible? p.s. you can also designate a session ID.

RE: [PHP-DB] Two session for the same user, possible?
There is only the one $_SESSION superglobal in PHP - and session_start doesn't take any parameters - so the builtin sessions in PHP undoubtedly aren't anticipating a need for this. If you are just trying to store more data - you shouldn't have a problem, just use $_SESSION as an array like normal, and for each application use a named key as its own array. e.g. instead of using $_SESSION['username'] in both of two applications, use $_SESSION['first_session']['username'] and $_SESSION['second_session']['username'] or something similar in each. I assume the reason you're encountering some sort of problem is because you have two canned applications that both conflict with session variables, or you want to run the same application twice? The sessions are tied to the hostname - so if you make a virtual server with another address (e.g. www.something.com and app.something.com or equivalent) you will, in effect, get your two sessions. Beyond this, I'd need to know more of what you're intending to be of any help. - Martin Norland, Database / Web Developer, International Outreach x3257 The opinion(s) contained within this email do not necessarily represent those of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. -Original Message- From: Andre Matos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 2:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Two session for the same user, possible?
