pass session between subdomains

[richardko]

is it possible to pass session between subdomains? if so how?

The first few results in google search were not helpful.

i may be a bit slow this morning but would this not work:

domain1 =

http://www.myserver.com

domain2 = customers.myserver.com

normal behaviour would be that the cookies would not transfer

but ...

if you set the following directive at the top of script before you start the session or in php.ini

ini_set ('session.cookie_domain', '.myserver.com'); //note the prepended period

I *think* that would work.

if not, then you can always store your session data in a database and pass a uniqueID around in rewritten links and/or hidden form fields. sleipnir214 has posted an FAQ on the subject.

thank you, that was one of the documentation i found in google search. it was the single quote/double quote confusion that had the script not working.
