#43682 [Fbk->Opn]: headers are OK

ID: 43682 User updated by: k dot andris at gmail dot com Reported By: k dot andris at gmail dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Debian Sarge PHP Version: 5.2.4 New Comment: Did you try getting the session variable set on a subdomain at the root? Like apple.mydomain.com/echo.php sets $_SESSION['apple'] = 'fruit', but mydomain.com/echo.php will not see it. Or does it in your tests? BTW, session_set_cookie_params lack parameter docs, but I guess lifetime is in seconds. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-05 00:28:53] jani@php.net Try using this instead of ini_set(): http://php.net/session_set_cookie_params Calling this with proper values prior to calling session_start(); works just fine for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-02 13:15:14] k dot andris at gmail dot com Host names pass along fine to the script handling the subdomains. Actually I used the subdfomain name to set test session variables, like "a_test2 and "b_test". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-02 13:11:51] k dot andris at gmail dot com So on subdomains it does work all right. What clears the $_SESSION variable is the root domain. Session is passed fine between a.mysite.com and b.mysite.com, but if I open a session at mysite.com, it will not see the subdomain's session variables, and it will also erase them. The session cookie passes along fine. I call: ini_set('session.cookie_domain', '.mysite.com'); session_start(); I thought it does not work because the dot befor thee site's name (since the root does not have that dot), but removing it does not help either. Can you test this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-01 22:36:55] jani@php.net Try check what the domain actually is in that /var/www/index.php file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-01 22:35:51] jani@php.net Sounds like a lighttpd problem to me. I only use lighttpd but I don't have any wildcard dns names set. Perhaps lighttpd doesn't set the host properly that is passed to PHP (or actually any other fastcgi..) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
