I've had reports of sessions merging on the same computer... I understand how... but from different computers?

The way we have sessions going, the session ID is stored in a cookie... when you go to the login screen, it is supposed to destroy the session, and they cookie... the problem seems to be, even if the session is destroyed, it still has the session ID in memory somewhere (maybe browser or something)... so when the second person goes to login, it still has the session ID for the first person... the second person then makes his own session, with the first persons session ID, so person 1 has session ID, abc123, person 2 has the same ID. Login goes all well etc etc... When person 1 goes to do anything new, because his session was killed off, *but* there is a session running with the session ID abc123, PHP doesn't know... so picks up the new session. This results in person 1 now being logged in as person 2. Person 1's preferences are now trashed because the details messed everything up... That is basically the problem we're seeing... What you described was something a *lot* more serious... and if that is happening independent of any caching engine, then I think PHP is messing up somewhere. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf -- squirrelmail-users mailing list List Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List Archives: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=2995 List Info: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
