how to use session on 2 diff domains

[pixeltrace]

guys,

 

i need help. i have 2 different domains which needs to use the user account, or cookie.

let say i login to www.domain.com and then i go to www.domain-2.com.

when i go to domain-2.com if i am already logged in to domain.com i will automatically

be logged in to domain-2.com and vice -versa.

 

is this possible? if so, what will the code be and how to do it?

 

thanks!

You could create a database, to be shared by both domains and store the sessions in that database.

 

Somthing like:

- sessionkey

- text

- expiration

Session data is simply data that is saved on the server's disk such that it can persist between HTTP requests.  Typically the server will set a cookie on the client (although this can also be accomplished by passing the session hash in the query string) with a hash which uniquely identifies the data saved on the server's disk.  If the two domains point to two separate servers then I don't believe this is possible at all.  If the domains do point to the same server then it becomes a matter of getting at the session ID.  The previous poster's solution should be adequate in the latter example, as cookies cannot be shared across domains.

 

Best,
