[SOLVED] something wierd about sessions.

[spdwrench]

ok my free dating site uses sessions

 

the thing is if I go from the site into the forum it automaticly logs me in no problem

 

if I am on http://abmatch.com

 

but if I click a link that directs me to http://www.abmatch.com the session is lost because of the www and vise versa is there a wait to make the session universal for both so if I jump back and forth it wont loose the session?

 

thanks for any ideas

the www shouldn't make a difference. there would likely be a difference between http and https, however.

If the whole site (or 95%) of it uses session just turn on auto start for sessions and save your self a headache

[spdwrench]

it definatly is the www

 

I just tested it again

 

if I log in with www.site when I click on a forum link to a members profile it takes me back to the site with www and I can email the person

 

if I log in without www the forum link links to the profile with www and the session is lost...

 

will this autostart fix this?

 

I will turn in on.. but I wonder why it is not already on? are there security issues?  what is the difference with the autostart if you could please.

I figured out a way to do this

 

instead of the profile link going back to http://www.site.com/profile123\

 

 

I just need to modify php BB2 so that the website link does not require http:

 

then all I do is make the link like this ../profile123

 

and the session good

 

thanks for the suggestion anyway guys

sessions do not last between subdomains, so it is the www.

You can either use a BASE_URL constant with a URL or a relative path, so they never leave the subdomain.
