RE: [PHP] Session problems / where to register

Still need help with this.. I've been browsing the list archives and have tried various things. No luck with an .htaccess file.. I've tried <IfModule> tags and setting the session.cookie_domain value, <Location> tags, neither worked. Tried making the change to httpd.conf, by putting the php_flag and php_value tags in the <Directory> entry. Still nothing. Session variables I register at my.domain.com aren't accessible at www.domain.com. I really am at a loss to what I am doing wrong, I thought maybe I couldn't use ini_set for some permission/security reason, but I'm not running in safe mode, and judging by the documentation I should be able to change that value. The -only- way I've gotten it to work is to change it in php.ini itself, but I plan on running some other sites here for other users, leasing out space, and obviously I don't want them to be able to set cookies for my domain, and I'm sure they may want to do apps where they need sessions/cookies as well. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I changed it in php.ini and it seems to work. I'd rather set it in the script, but I had problems with that: if (ini_set("session.cookie_domain", "domain.com")) { echo "ini_set"; } else { echo "no ini"; } always failed.. I also tried moving it above the session_start call (saw in a comment on php.net), but it still failed there as well. If anyone knows why that would be failing, please let me know. Thanks for your help, Rasmus. Much appreciated.

The only way a session variable is tied to a domain is through whatever mechanism decides how the session id is propogated. If you are using cookies, then the cookie domain tells the remote browser which domains to send this cookie-based session id to. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
