RE: [PHP] Followup to session question / scope of session

It's still there, yes, but when I go to my.mydomain.com from www.mydomain.com, the session_start() at the top of the script starts a new session rather than picking up on the old www.mydomain.com session. I don't know how to tell it to look at the old session and continue that one.
