If you don't have admin access to your boxes, then you could write a session handler on one of the systems to dl the necessary sesssion info on demand. For more info see

Sorry - but I thought someone of your experience Jochem would know :)

experience? me? only the bad kind ;-)

See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php

ah, righty ho. that does look familiar - I just assumed that you were pointing to some resource/article elsewhere than php.net - didn't cross my mind that you might just have been pointing to OP to the most natural place to start reading about sessions (or anything php for that matter) - which is why I asked, you never you when you can learn something new! :-) that said I have always been satisfied with the default session handler (and given that (nearly) all my work is published either on my 'own' server (not really mine but I have full control and there are no 'anon' 3rd party running stuff) or on dedicated servers belonging to clients I don't have to worry about all the potential security risks involved with (badly setup?) shared hosting environments. for that reason (and lack of time) I have never really dived deep into to the possibilities of custom session handlers (I have used some 3rd party code once that used a mysql DB to store the session data which was a quite simple affair - such a setup would allow sharing of sessions accross various boxes.... asumming a shared base domain) rgds, jochem
