cfemocha Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I have a page that needs user to log in to see the contents. Inside the content there is a link which will open up in a new window. What do I need to do so the new window will recognize the user has already signed in? And how do I pass member datas pulled out from the database to the new window without using the get method (i.e. showing it in the url) ?

Hi I Am Timbo Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 You could either serialize the session and pass it to the new window in a querystring, or you could use javascript and this.opener to get the data (which would be stored in a hidden or something similar).You could also keep track of the session information in the database.

Hi I Am Timbo Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 probably because newwindow.html is an html page, not php? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/23079-pass-sign-in-info-to-new-window/#findComment-104342 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I Am Timbo Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 are you doing session_start(); there too? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/23079-pass-sign-in-info-to-new-window/#findComment-104353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
