Actually, two opened browser windows don't mean two different sessions.
Browsers usually have one space for storing cookies per pc per user
profile, but not per opened window. So, yes, these "sessions" will still
share data.

As you mentioned, you can use URL based session IDs because each window
can keep unique URL in its own address bar. I haven't read the manual
about it too much. However, as I know, if the cookies can not be used, PHP
will use URLs instead. You just have to disable cookies... at least for
session IDs.

As for me, if it's so necessary to work in two or more different windows,
I would rather review the application design then mess up with PHP
sessions.
