[PHP] session cookie paths

2004-08-25 Thread Ian Firla

Dear All,

I've been trying to figure out a solution for this problem and have
googled the subject but cannot come up with anything meaningful.

I have several applications running on my server which use php and
sessions.

In each case, logging out from an application destroys the session.

The trouble is that all the applications (four of them) share the same
id: PHPSESSID and path: /

My first hunch is to try to use .htaccess in each application's root
directory to override these php.ini variables. Am I on the right track?

Regards,

Ian

Answered my own question.

Creating an .htaccess file containing:

php_value session.name uniqueSESSIONname

takes care of the problem.

You can do this from within PHP by calling session_name() before 
session_start, also.

You could also use set_cookie_params() in each of the scripts.
