Re: PHP and cookies and/or headers

Ive done this, our secure server is on a differnt IP/domain name, of course I still need cookies though. <?php include_once('time.egn'); if ( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['PHPSESSID']) ) session_id($HTTP_GET_VARS['PHPSESSID']); if ( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['PHPSESSID']) ) session_id($HTTP_POST_VARS['PHPSESSID']); session_start(); if (!isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['SessionID'])) { $SessionID = mtime(); session_register('SessionID'); } if (!isset($PHPSESSID)) $PHPSESSID = session_id(); $SID = "PHPSESSID=$PHPSESSID"; ?> All I have todo to set the SessionID ona different domainname is pass the PHPSESSID in the url to the new host, and voila I have access to the same SessionID and other session vars. give it a shot, im sure this will work for you. if not please give me an email, I will help you. -- Chris Lee Mediawaveonline.com em. lee@mediawaveonline.com ph. 250.377.1095 ph. 250.376.2690 fx. 250.554.1120 "Jeremy Gillies" <jgillies@cupw-sttp.org> wrote in message news:60A76E02BB9CD311930B00805F6565984BF25C@ldap.cupw-sttp.org... > Greetings, > > Is anyone REALLY familiar with PHP and cookies and/or headers-- I have a > tough nut to crack and it involves three URLs. > > Here is the situation, and I really want to avoid using our DB if I can. > > I have a main URL that everyone will probably hit - splash page. > www.mainurl.com > > From there, users go into either the french or english version of the site > with two unique URLs... > > www.english.com > www.francais.com > > I want it so that if users go back to the splash page, it will pick up their > language preference (french or english) and send them to the index page of > either www.english.com or www.francais.com -- depending upon the last > argument set when they were last at the site.
