Note Submitter: sijmen@digitized.nl ---- This problem took me 2 full days, the concept: - page 1 is loaded by the visitor. - page 1 gets the content of page 2, also on the server and gives the session id from the visitor through the URL that it loads - page 2 loads the session id and returns the content <?php // page 1 session_start(); print session_id().'<br>'; readfile("http://x/page2.php?".session_name().'='.session_id()); ?> <?php // page 2 if (isset($_GET[session_name()])) session_id($_GET[session_name()]); session_start(); print session_id(); ?> let's say the session id of the visitor is: 43c153b3a80a0b90351520b9fa3d907f then you whould expect the following output: 43c153b3a80a0b90351520b9fa3d907f 43c153b3a80a0b90351520b9fa3d907f but the result of the following two scripts is that it will result in: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in .. Session files are locked so no other user can modify it if it's in use. The solution would be: <?php // page 1 session_start(); # get our session id - update the session file and close it $sid = session_id(); session_write_close(); print "$id<br>"; readfile("http://x/page2.php?".session_name()."=$sid"); # continu our session session_id($sid); session_start(); ?> Regards Sijmen Ruwhof
