session question

[richardko]

Hi,
I have a system where i am trying to pass session between two files.
There is a file called "editor.php" and there is a file called "index.php"

when i am in "editor.php" i set certain session variables. Within that "editor.php" i call php's "file" command like this:

$fh = file("index.php");
while($fh as $line)
{
}

but the session does not pass to "index.php" since i am calling a file handler and not doing a HTTP request...is there a way around it or change it so that I can pass session variables to "index.php"?

thanks
ro

a number of ways.

you could use cUrl to access the file
you could append the session to the filename as a query string and open the file using a http:// address rather than a file://

in any event. if you open a file using the file protocol it will not be evaluated by php. you will be getting the php code. http will avoid this behaviour. you could also use include instead.

$file = "file.php";
ob_start();
include $file;
$fileContents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
