Re: Session problems / where to register

Short of using a Header call to redirect them to a page on >domain.com which just registers the session variables, does anyone have any You *should* be able to set the Cookies required for domain.com that works across all the domains, as I understand it... Never tried it, though... Another option is to pass the SID through the URL with --enable-trans-id (or similar in php.ini) or if you only have a limited number of "transfer points" from sub-domain to sub-domain doing it "by hand" in those URLs. >tricks or advice in tackling this problem? The redirection to set session >variables, then redirecting back, is kind of ugly. I think this is going to not work on some browsers anyway... Any time you mix redirect and Cookies, a number of browsers/servers are going to mess up... Kind of like telling a kid to run to the store (redirect), and they take off for the store before you get a chance to hand them the shopping list (cookie). :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
