Anyone? I'm looking on google for help and found 2 people asking similar questions, but both got no replies. Is it not possible to pass session data across subdomains? If so, what workaround can I use to keep the user authenticated? Do I just pass the session ID in the URL? That kind of sucks. :( Thanks, Chad -----Original Message----- From: Chad Day [mailto:cday@atpco.com] Sent: Friday, July 19, 2002 11:46 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Followup to session question / scope of session If I start a session at www.mydomain.com and want to register a session variable to keep track of the user for authentication purposes, is there a way I can use that session variable on other sites, such as my.mydomain.com and mydomain.com or anythingelse.mydomain.com? It seems to only be valid for the www. domain name, and I need it to work on all of *.mydomain.com. I could set a cookie with a value, but I don't want to risk spoofing of cookies, etc.. I'd much rather keep a registered session variable which I can check to see if it exists, and use that to authenticate.
