OK, what you write makes sense. However, at work I am using the same
type of setup. A user is authenticated, a session is started and the
user can navigate through the online application. At work, I can have
multiple IE browsers open and during the last 2 years, never have I
seen the problem of the session switching between users. Even on my
own application, I do not see this problem every time. It happens
every so often. Meaning I had as many as 4 IE windows open connecting
to my on-line application and never saw a switch. Then it happens out
of the blue. Now the differences between my work application and
private application:
Work: Linux running Apache with a https sessions
Home: Windows XP running Apache with no security
Thanks again,
Slav

If I understand your situation, if IE is running on the same machine
with the same IP address and user, I don't see a way to do what you're
trying to accomplish--separate instances using the same browser. Now,
if you have two different browsers (say, IE and FireFox), that would
probably work as cookies are usually stored in separate places. Or use
separate user accounts (if your OS allows multiple logins) as the cookie
files are in different directories. But the web server (and php) has no
way to distinguish connections coming from the same machine. Only the
client browser differentiates that. So, unless you use a different
user, browser, or machine, you're pretty much stuck with the behavior
you see.
