session problem

[dimis283]

I am using xampp and a cart class that use sessions (it initialize as a session variable).
My problem is I use that cart class for many sites so when I add an item at a site that item will be at the cart of other sites (they are in subfolders of 'local' server-local/domain1 , local/domain2)
I thing it happens because all these subfolders have the same session
via local/.
How each subfolder can have their own session?

may be when you switch the folder then destroy the older one and create the new one with that folder.

We use the 'local' (xampp) server as testing server and we 'put' the sites as subfolders at this server. (local/domain1, local/domain2 etc)
So it is not a good practice to delete any subfolder.
Is there any method to start a session with a unique id for example?

Not entirely sure, but wouldn't you have to create virtual-hosts for those? Then your cookies would be domain specific and not available globally under localhost.

Just a thought.

I just used the

session_name("mysubfolder");

for 2 subfolder and it seems to seperate the sessions.
The previous idea maybe works but me personally , I have not access to do this.

Edit: Ah no matter, I got a little confused, headed on over to the manual to educate myself.

using a different session_name() is a decent way to do it. Even better though is SilverBulletUK's suggestion to set up different virtual hosts.

Another way is to session_set_cookie_params() and set the cookie path to the directory in the url.
