Passing session id width JS not working

renzocj · Nov 11, 2011

In order to pass a session Id using the URL

This works fine:

Code:

<h1 id="goHome"><a href="home.php?<?php echo htmlspecialchars(SID); ?>">Inicio</a></h1>

The h1 tags are inside little divs like buttoms, so the divs are links to home.php to:

Code:

function myMenu() {
olinkA=document.getElementById("goHome");
//add event...
addEvent(oLinkA,'click',goNow);
}


//this does not work
//the home.php has no session at all
function goNow() {
location.href="home.php?<?php echo htmlspecialchars(SID); ?>";
}

Any idea ? how can I send the session ID to the next page using Javascript as a link sender (location.href) ?

Thanks

You don't need to, start the session on the next page and will have the same session id.

I already did but my browser apparently does not allow cookies, so I wanted to have a second way to establish the session.

LOGIN PAGE:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">[/URL]
<?php
session_start();

include_once('overall.php');

if (isset($_POST['mail_log']) && isset($_POST['pass_log'])) {
	//if the user has just tried to log in
	$email=$_POST['mail_log'];
	$password=$_POST['pass_log'];
	
	$db_conn=new mysqli('***', '***', '***', '***');
	
	if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
		echo '<h1>No se realizó una conexión a base</h1>';
		exit;
	}
	
	$query='select * from authorized_users '."where name='$email' "." and password=sha1('$password')";
	
	$result=$db_conn->query($query);
	 
	if ($result->num_rows) {
		//if they are in the database register the user id
		$_SESSION['valid_user']=$email;
	}
	$db_conn->close();

}

?>
<html xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">[/URL]
<head>...

In other part of the page...

Code:

<div id="login_area">
            <?php
			
			create_heading();
			
			?>
            </div><!--login_area-->

create_heading function:

Code:

//this function say hello to the registerd member or if not creates a form to registe new member.

AS THE SECOND PAGE.............

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">[/URL]
<?php
session_start();

include('overall.php');

?>
<html xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">[/URL]
<head>...

In other part of the page:

Code:

<div id="login_area">
            <?php
			
			create_heading();
			
			?>
            </div><!--login_area-->

This function must say hello to the member, however if you log in the page number one, here the session is not active, this is why I wanted to create the sessions using URLs too...
