Sessions on Different Servers

[Suchy]

Since the mail function is not working on my main server I am trying to pull-off something like this to send sms:

 

Function on server where the website is

<?php
if($_POST)
{    
 $to = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST['to']) . "@_______" ;
 $text = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST['text']); 
 $from = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['from']) . " writes: ";
    	  
     // add info to db - THIS WORKS
    $query = "INSERT INTO sms ....." ;
     $result = .....;
     $entriesResults = ...;	 

    $_SESSION['sms_to'] = $to;
    $_SESSION['sms_text'] = $text;
    $_SESSION['sms_from'] = $from;

?>

<iframe src ="http://www.____/sms.php" width="1" height="1" > </iframe>

<?php } ?>

 

Page sms.php on a different server

<?php
session_start;

$sms_to = $_SESSION['sms_to'];
$sms_from = $_SESSION['sms_from'];
$sms_text = $_SESSION['sms_text'];

mail($sms_to, $sms_from, $sms_text, "From: J <a@abc.com>"); 
?>

 

But this is not working.

How can I fix this so that the info is passed to the server with the sms.php page

You cannot use sessions on different servers. When you use an iframe that is a sperate instance of PHP. The PHP code is parsed on the site the iframe is serving. Not the site that has the iframe on it.

 

You will probably want to look in cURL for what you are trying to do.
