Maintaing SESSION

[dflow]

i'm redirecting:

but my session is destroyed.

i tried to use

session_write_close();

to maintain , but nada.

the page is redirected blank

session_write_close();
$protocol = strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL']),'https') === FALSE ? 'http' : 'https';
    $host     = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
    $script   = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
    $params   = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
    $currentUrl = $protocol . '://' . $host . $script;

if ($host<>'example.com'){
	session_write_close();
	header("Location: https://www.example2222.com");
}
else{}

Are you going from http to https? You can't keep cookies between the two.

You must die() after a header call.

Why?

[ManiacDan]

Because otherwise sessions don't work right ;-)

Can you elaborate? Wouldn't the script end after the header redirect anyway?

i didn't notice i created a new word

Scripts do not end after header redirects, so open connections are not closed and sessions are not written and closed.  If you want the script to end, you have to die().

 

Header() is used for more than just redirects, it doesn't automatically die.

I know that, I just thought that since it was a redirect that it would do it then and not later. I just tested it and it seems you are right. Good to know.
