Re: PHP4 & Session

I've been pulling my hair out over something very similar over the last few days. Here is what I have come up with. The login is done through a secure server, which is at a slightly different url (a subdomain of our domain) so the cookie is not persisting. What I have done is set up my own session methods. When a read is done, I test for the existence of a URL parameter. If it is there, I force a setcookie on the session variable. That way there is a cookie set for each of the domains and all is well. It's something to think about. I have written an extensive session management module for connecting to MySQL and you are certainly welcome to take a look at some of it (some of it is dependent on our local database structure and probably wouldn't help you much) if you need some help getting it to work.

I am trying to use sessions for my website, however, the pages are not recognizing that the session is occuring. Here's an outline of what happens and what is suppose to happen: What I would like to happen: User Login at Login page -> Login Page forwards to Site Index page -> User can choose where to go in the site with the information accounted for by the session. (Note: If user is not logged in, then send back to Login page.) What I see happening: User Login at Login page -> Login Page forwards to Site Index page -> Site Index things User is not logged in, and sends back to Login page. Can the meathod that I would like to use work with PHP4 Sessions? Or Do I have to create the session myself everytime the page opens? I have tried setting session.auto_start in the php.ini file, but it has not changed anything. Thanks in advance, Benjamen R. Meyer
