PHPSESSID not working???

[JamesManke]

I am having trouble sending PHPSESSID through the URL.
Here is my code...

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['favcolor'] = 'green';
$_SESSION['animal'] = 'cat';
$_SESSION['time'] = time();

echo '<br /><a href="page2.php?PHPSESSID=$_PHPSESSID">PAGE 2</a>';
?>

When I click "PAGE2" it obviuosly sends me to page 2, but in the URL it reads "page2.php?PHPSESSID=$PHPSESSID" Should $PHPSESSID not be a number??? I need this number because I am sending the session ID to another domain.

Thanks for your help
James

try:
...
echo '<br /><a href="page2.php?PHPSESSID='.$_PHPSESSID.'">PAGE 2</a>';

The URL looks like this when using your code...

page2.php?PHPSESSID=

There is nothing after the =

Note: If I type
echo"$PHPSESSID"; on my page I do get a number. But for some strange reason it will not send through the URL. Any other ideas?

 

[predamarcel]

sorry,
echo '<br /><a href="page2.php?PHPSESSID='.$PHPSESSID.'">PAGE 2</a>';

without _ [underscore]

nonono...

<a href="page2.php?<?=SID?>" title="page two">page two</a>

why reinvent the wheel?
ps. you only need to pass SID like this, if the user for some reason does not accept SID-cookies.

Great, it goes through the url now! Thanks Muchly. One other problem.... Page 2 is on a different domain - so how do I Make that domains ID the same as page 1?

I tried this with no luck

$PHPSESSID = $_GET[PHPSESSID];

when echo-ing $PHPSESSID it is right -BUT - When trying to echo my session variables ex...

echo $_SESSION['animal'];

I get nothing.

PS - Thanks for the help guy

then you have to pass the variables in querystring, not session. The session variables are stored on the server, not in the client!

only the session-id is stored in the client.

<a href="www.domain2.tld/page2.php?variable1=<?=$_SESSION['variable1']?>">page2</a>
