You can create multiple sessions in PHP by using different session names for each session. The default session name is PHPSESSID, but you can change it using the session_name() function.

Here's an example of how to create and manage multiple sessions:


// Start the first session with the default session name
session_start();

// Set a variable in the first session
$_SESSION['session1_var'] = 'value1';

// Change the session name to create a new session
session_name('my_session2');
session_start();

// Set a variable in the second session
$_SESSION['session2_var'] = 'value2';

// Display the values of the variables in each session
echo "Session 1 variable: " . $_SESSION['session1_var'] . "<br>";
echo "Session 2 variable: " . $_SESSION['session2_var'];

In this example, the first session is started with the default session name using session_start(), and a variable is set in the session using $_SESSION['session1_var'] = 'value1'.

Then, the session name is changed to 'my_session2' using session_name() to create a new session, and the second session is started using session_start(). A variable is set in the second session using $_SESSION['session2_var' ] = 'value2'.

Finally, the values of the variables in each session are displayed on the web page using echo.

Note that each session is separate and has its own set of variables. To access a specific session, you need to use the corresponding session name with session_name() and call session_start() for each session you want to use.
