Description:
------------
I'm developing 2 different php programs simultaneously both using php session. I notice that both are sharing and overriding the same session variables. The worst thing happens is when I close one of the app, it will destroy the contents for the other app.

Is there a way to keep php from sharing the session on multiple tabs or instances of the same web browser?

but when i open the two simultaneusly on different web browsers they use different sessions as expected.

Is it possible for php to detect and create a separate session for each tab/instance of the web browser?

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

One of the possible solutions is to change the session save path (ini_set("session.save_path", "...")).
