i am running php script which creates session and stores some value in
session variables. then this file calls the another php script which
displays the values stored in session variables.
as far as i have no problem. but after running above steps, i am
leaving the explorer open. then i am opening new explorer and running
directly the second php script. this script displays the values stored
in session variables. should this happen????????
according to me this should not happen because session is related with
opened browser window and not with browser.
guide me regarding this........

Yes.

You understood wrong.
This is how it works:
A browser has stored a serie of cookies from certain sites.
One of them is PHPSESSIONID (or whatever you decided to call it), and that
cookie contains a number: your sessionid.
If you open a new window, AND visit a site that is found in your cookies,
that corresponding cookie is send with the request.
So you share the same session between windows.
Tip:
If you don't want this behavious during development:
On Mozilla you have the oppertunity to create different profiles.
Each profile contains their own set of cookies.
So you CAN open two windows that do not share the same set of cookies.
I use that approach often during development, when I don't want to log out
and log in again as a different user.
EG: In one window(profile) I am admin, and in the other I am a normal user.
But you cannot expect your visitors to do the same.
Hope that helps.

Erwin Moller

Depends, with explorer you mean IE? How do you open the new one? IIRC
you can create a new window in 2 ways:
-open new window from within running one
-start new instance (IIRC configurable somehwere in the bloddy thing)
The first one will share session cookies, the second one doesn't.

It's a confusing subject. As Daniel pointed out, session cookies are shared
between IE windows if they belong to the same IE process. An IE windows
opened from/by another IE window is owned by the process of that window.
There are a number of way where this happens:
1) File > New > Window
2) Right click > Open in new window
3) target attribute in anchor and form tags
4) javascript open()
Browser windows that are opened from the start menu, the task bar, or by
double clicking on iexplore.exe, are owned by different processes, so they
do not share session cookies. The exception to that is when the computer has
less than 32meg of RAM, in which case there's always only one instance of
IE.
Persistent cookies are always shared between browser windows, provided that
the domain name matches.
thxs for reply.
you cleared my doubts

Tell me if my assertion is wrong here:
The only way to prevent session hijacking is to NEVER store
authentication information (such as name/password) in the session.
Well, to never authenticate a user from information you got from the
session. Each secure app on a site must challenge the user for name
and password, each and every time the user accesses it (not just once
and then store it in the session). If a secure app is multi-page,...

When a user opens a new IE browser window using File-New-Window the
integrity of an application which relies on session state is COMPLETELY
undermined. Anyone who overlooks the fact that File-New-Window creates an
instance of IE in the same process with the same SessionID as the parent
window is in big trouble. This fundamentally restricts the usefullness of
using session state management.
I probably missed it somewhere - can...

Some ASP.NET applications use Session Variables extensively to maintain
state.
These should be re-written to use viewstate, hidden fields, querystring,
etc. instead.
This is because if a user opens a new IE window with Ctrl-N or
File-New-Window, BOTH WINDOWS SHARE THE SAME SESSION VARIABLES. This cannot
be prevented.
