Hi.
I start a session with session_start() and I query the id with session_id().
And i want to continue that session with another browser window.
Is it possible?


Thnx for any help.
 
Hi,

There are multiple things to consider:

Behavior is browser specific. Mozilla for example uses the same session ID for tabs. IE I believe forgets the session ID when spwaning a new window.

You want to find a way to do 'legitimate' session hijacking. The new browser window needs to start a session and then change the session ID to the original one.
 
IE use new sessions only if you open a new IE application not when you use a new window from within an IE window.

Also you shouldnt lose session if you spawn new window from your script code.
