weemikey Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hi all! So I'm incorporating a php document manager (DM) into a contact manager (CM) that I built in php. The DM is a system that I paid for and customized a bit. The DM has its own login screen which, when successful, sets a PHPSESSID cookie. If I look at the properties of the cookie I see this: Content: a session ID Host: my domain Path: /dm/ Expires: at end of session So I'm TRYING to be able to use this cookie in my system. So far I can't refer to it or "SEE" it. I assume access to the cookie is tied to the piece of code that set it in the first place. Also if I link BACK to the DM from my CM I get the login screen again. So to me that says that the DM session ended when I clicked the link into the CM. Here's the questions: - who can SEE the cookie set by the DM? I thought that it was perhaps PATH specific so I moved my code into the /dm/ directory. Doesn't seem to work. - are there properties of a cookie that I can somehow exploit to make these two systems get along? I'd REALLY appreciate some help. I'm doing a demo on Wed and this should be working! Thanks, Mikey Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/71403-clarification-on-cookie-access-needed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkyIS Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 we need to see code. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/71403-clarification-on-cookie-access-needed/#findComment-359394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
weemikey Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 What code would you like to see? The DM code is really dense and I don't actually understand tons of it. I see no "session_start()" anywhere, which is confusing to me, as I thought that was essential. I don't have any code on my side to show, as all I've done is try to echo out cookie values, but each time I try, a NEW cookie is set by my php code. I'll try to show you whatever you'd like, but this is really just a GENERAL question about how access to a cookie is determined.

BlueSkyIS Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 what code are you using to access and set/view cookies? you should have access on the same domain at the very least.

weemikey Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Well, I figured ONE piece of the puzzle. I had to move MY code into the same directory, because of course the cookie is set to the DM directory. So now I'm happy as a clam, able to grab the SESSION vars set in the DM. You're right in that I should have had access to the cookie. Now my ONLY issue is when I go BACK to the DM from my code I still go straight to the login. I need to pore over the DM code and see WHY it wants to do a login. Thanks!
