Re: [PHP] Sessions interfering with one another
Sounds good, but I'm not actually setting the cookie, PHP session code does
the setting
of the cookie.

Re: [PHP] Sessions interfering with one another
Well then rename the session cookieid.. By using session_name() this way it doesn¹t use the default name specified by your php.ini file. Cheers!

Re: [PHP] Sessions interfering with one another
Thanks. Worked wonders. I was a bit wary of using session_name() earlier because the documentation on that function is pretty awful. --- Adam Whitehead Systems Developer - CSM Limited Ph.
