Hi Matt,
Thanks for the reply. I understand that if people from the same machine
log in. But I see an instance when people who are from different
locations getting the same session. I have two people who have uploaded
files to my server and both file are same. 
Thanks

Session crossover is a common problem especially when many people log in
from the same machine.  The reason for this could be from caching of the
browser.  What you need to do is to force it to go back to the server
and
get the user the latest information.  One way to do this is to add
timestamp
data and session id in the url of the page, as this is unique to the
user,
and if you run checks on the timestamp etc you can add extra security to
your site also.  This way you will be able to guarantee that the
sessions
will stop getting crossed and the right info gets put infront of the
user.
