SESSION help

[amalosoul]

I have two really simple pages:

 

1. FIRST_PAGE

session_start();

$_SESSION['id'] = 23;

 

 

2.SECOND_PAGE

session_start();

file_get_contents(FIRST_PAGE);

echo $_SESSION['id'];

 

How come there is nothing stored in $_SESSION['id']  (and how can I set a session variable from another page)?

 

Thank you very much for your patience!

why is session id fixed at 23 ?

 

consider codes as under :

 

<?php
session_start();
//session_register("session");

 

and then another

<?php
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE | E_CORE_ERROR);
$_SESSION['id']=session_id();

?>

The name of the key is of no particular interest (neither the value), the strange thing is that I don't understand why there is no value there.

I tried even with cURL and still nothing

 

session_start();
define('POSTURL', FIRST_PAGE);
define('POSTVARS', MY_VARIABLES);

$ch = curl_init(POSTURL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST      ,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS    ,POSTVARS);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION  ,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER      ,1);  //  RETURN HTTP HEADERS
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER  ,1);  //RETURN THE CONTENTS OF THE CALL
$Rec_Data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

echo $_SESSION['id']."!*";

try what i sent .

 

your page would have to then

 

include "session.php" ;

 

and after your $sql has run you'd have to include "newsession.php"  - which is basically the 2nd php

Note you're calling the session on a file that is not included, Why would you expect it to be set?

[amalosoul]

I can't include that file it has to be something outside my page (I tried with session_id() and it doesn't work either).

Thank you for your pacience!

[oni-kun]

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Are you saying the page is not within your accessabilty? Then you cannot capture the session ID like that.

 

If you are able to require it (which should be) then it'll pass the variables natively, Using file_get_contents or CURL will only be able to capture a SESSID cookie, Nothing more. You cannot get a workable session from that.

So, taking into consideration that both pages are on the same server how can I set session variables from one page in order to be seen in the orther, as well.

(the reason why I can't use include is because these pages are actually part of a large log in system which needs to be integrated into one log in system)

How do you expect one code to magically get the result of another code without directly interacting with it? I'm not sure what you're meaning about not being able to include it.

 

What is your need to get the session ID? I'm sure if you'd tell us we could find a better solution to the problem at hand.

Ok, this is the description :

 

I have multiple php pages (not functions) which take an username and password as input, through GET or POST (all pages are independent from each other) . Once a page gets its input it adds some info into $_SESSION.

 

I want to be able to create a top level page that can send the username and password to all of these pages (which in turn will work independently to add info to $_SESSION).

 

get_file_contents or cURL seemed perfect but they don't work

AAGH ! I posted and then saw the solved tag
