php - Having two different sessions in same domain

Question

I run foo.com. I have two different applications that live in foo.com: one is foo.com/bar, and the other is foo.com/example. I use sessions to track information about the user while they're logged in, but if the user goes from foo.com/bar to foo.com/example, foo.com/example sees the session the user started from foo.com/bar and uses that information. My question is, how can I have two different sessions going for each directory at the same time?

Answer 1

You should call session_name before calling session_start. This sets the name of the cookie used to identify the session (by default this is PHPSESSID).

Use a different name for each application. You shouldn't have to mess with the variables inside the session.
