If so, then that's why "the session is lost". Sessions are maintained on a per server basis (am I correct here?) Even so, you can redirect to a specific page in the appropriate sport tld and reconstruct/restart the session (I guess to that point you should only have a memberid after the authentication). cheers, thalis > Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? > > (I can post my login/session code if need be) > > Thanks for any suggestions!! > > __________________ > Jason Dulberg > Extreme MTB > http://extreme.nas.net > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php >
