Are there any best practices or workarounds to allow for independent session handling in multiple tabs of the same browser in PHP applications?

When working with PHP applications, handling sessions in multiple tabs of the same browser can be challenging as they typically share the same session data. One workaround is to use unique session identifiers for each tab to maintain independent session handling. This can be achieved by appending a unique identifier to the session name or using a separate session storage mechanism for each tab. 

<?php
// Generate a unique session name for each tab using a combination of session name and a unique identifier
$unique_session_name = session_name() . '_' . uniqid();
session_name($unique_session_name);

// Start the session
session_start();

// Now each tab will have its own independent session handling
?>
