Re: maintaining session information

Thanks for the suggestions guys .... I appreciate the help! I guess I'll look into creating a custom session handler. Any good references? How my current setup works is, there's session information for sub-domain1.domain.com stored in a cookie and I want sub-domain2.domain.com(which currently does not have authentication/sessions) to be able to read that cookie and find out who the user is. I read somewhere that you could do this either by using an apache module or .htaccess files or configuring php.ini ... - Vic On 8/16/07, Chris <dmagick@gmail.com> wrote: > > Vic Agnews wrote: > > is there a way we can maintain session information across two > sub-domains > > (on two different servers though) ... kinda like how google does it? > > Might have to use a 3rd party cookie & possibly a custom session handler. > > A cookie created on 'domain.com' cannot be read by any subdomains > (including 'www.domain.com'). > > A 3rd party cookie (on 'www.domain2.com') can be used in both cases and > it's independent so shouldn't have a problem being read. > > -- > Postgresql & php tutorials > http://www.designmagick.com/ >
