If you had read the online documentation you would know that session_id is the
random generated string, while session_name is the name of the cookie in where
the session_id is stored on the visitors browser (in case you use cookie,
which you seem to do from your description).

This for you use the same domain, and you can "always" access your own domains
cookies no matter if it's "site a" or "site b".


Do the following:
session_name('site_a');
session_start();

And on the other one:
session_name('site_b');
session_start();

Now the two "sites" will use different cookies to store the session id and
they can work as two independent entities.
