[SOLVED] Session errors.

[l7hope]

Hello everyone!

 

I'm working on a login script that uses sessions, and I'm running into a few problems.

 

I have everything working, however, if I'm logged in at http://example.net I will not be logged in at http://www.example.net.

Which is a big problem for me because a lot of links use the www. and a lot don't.

Is there any way that I can make it so that I'll be logged in on both?

 

The top of my page looks like this:

session_start();

if(!isset($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID']) || (trim($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID'])=='')) {
header("location: http://www.example.net/access-denied.php");
exit();
}

 

Thanks in advance!

impossible

There should be no reason that links use both for the same site, just use Relative paths and not Absolute.

oops its possible, i thought that you wanted sessions from example.net to example.com

 

silly me

Umm, How would you go about doing it? ???

 

I can change all the links, It's just a pain!

 

Thanks for the quick responses!

Set the session domain in the php.ini file

Cool! Thanks!

 

One thing though, I'm using 1&1 as my host, so I can't edit my PHP ini file. 

However, I look around, and it looks like if you upload a file called PHP.INI, it will read the setting from that. Is that true?

If so, what would I put in it?

 

session.domain = ???

 

Thank you so much!

A much easier way to do this would be

 

replace

 

session_start();

 

with

 

session_set_cookie_params  ( NULL, NULL, '.yourdomain.com' );
session_start();

 

If it doesn't work with null values, then use session_get_cookie_params to fill the others with their default value.

That worked! Thank you so much!
