New Sessions Across the Same Domain and Server

[berridgeab]

Hi

 

I operate (example) www.joebloggs.com which is using PHP sessions to handle Logins, etc etc.

 

I also operate a separate site at www.joebloggs.com/NewSite which is entirely seperate from the site at www.joebloggs.com, even though there operating on the same Domain and Server.

 

My problem is, when a user logs out of www.joebloggs.com (Using session_destroy), it also destroys any session information associated with www.joebloggs.com/NewSite.

 

Is there any way to prevent this happening or am I going to have to rethink how I handle my sessions?

 

Scouring the internet (Ive quoted below) I think somebody mentioned using session_name() but I fail to see how it would be implemented?

 

To avoid problems with sessions you should use the session_name('myapplication') [ session_name({UNIQUE_APP_ID}) ].

 

The problem you are mentioning can occur in more simple situations where there is an administration panel and a sign-in form for the users of the web site.

 

If session_name is not used a signed-in user could have access to the admin. panel but this depends on the auth. scheme and mechanism you have implemented.
