Using PHP session instead of cookies.

[sh0wtym3]

I set cookies in my php script when a user logs in, and I use javascript to open certain links in a new window.

 

But when the new window is opened, it acts as if the cookies dont exist.

 

However, when you type in the URL, (instead of opening it in a new window), the cookies are recognized just fine.

 

I was wondering if there was a way to keep the user logged in inside the new window, by using php sessions?

have you used php sessions before they are really easy and properly the best way to keep track of users

put

session_start();

at the top of all your pages then you can use $_SESSION to store any data on any page as long as you call session_start() before any output
