I ask something relative later but the answer make me cry ;-)
If we duplicate the browser window (both in IE / Mozilla), both of 2 browser windows use the same session!!!
This produces many problems...

My program is this:
I have html format books inside zip files.
If I choose a book from my main page, php sets
$_SESSION['book'] = "a_book.zip";
and loads the index.html from a_book.zip.
if we click a link inside index.html like:
<a href=chapter1.html>Next</a>
Apache returns error 404, php handles this error and returns file chapter1.html from a_book.zip

All right but the problem is this:
If I duplicate browser window and in the 2nd browser I select another book, then because both of 2 browser use the same session, 2nd
browser change the $_SESSION['book'] and 1st browser searches in wrong zip file.

Any suggestions?
