Problems with PHP sessions across multiple tabs?
Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble getting PHP sessions to work across multiple tabs of the same page. I can't establish a consistent session when I open the page in different tabs. I'm not sure if it's possible to get sessions to work correctly in this scenario, or if I'm doing something wrong.
Does anyone have experience with this or can give me a tip on how to solve the problem? I would appreciate any help!
Thank you in advance!

Where is the exact problem? If you use an application in multiple tabs, share a session. If you have a form in tab A, for example with CSRF tokens, and now a new form is opened in tab B, which overrides the token in the session, the form in tab A no longer works.
Separate sessions are only available if the page is opened again, for example, in the private tab or another browser, so that the generated session cookie differs. The PHP session “hangs” on a cookie (PHPSESSID default), which does not last but only applies to the browser session. All tabs in the same browser (except private tabs/windows) share the same cookie.
I have tested again and apparently it doesn’t work beyond subdomains, which is why everything doesn’t work with me
Or just save the token as a cookie
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-cookie-params.php
Your domain with . at the beginning, so .example.org ….
there, however, it is also necessary to explicitly specify the domain with setcookie if the Kram is to run on a subdomain and apply beyond the subdomain.
