I write my scripts to use DB storage for sessions. I'll be integrating this method on a site where I need to fetch some information from the "other" session, set by simply calling session_start(). How can I fetch the information from the one session and then have my own DB-stored session?

I'm thinking of just starting the session at the beginning of the script, fetching my data, then deleting the session and starting the sessions the way I otherwise have them, but I think this will screw up some header commands sent to the browser without redirects.

I think sessions are pretty flexible. They don't need headers to work, since it can work without the PHPSESSIONID cookie, by appending the sessionid to the URL. As long as you aren't outputting anything to browser, it isn't going to mess with redirects. Am I missing something?

I'm not sure if you're missing anything, but I'll go ahead and give my idea a try tomorrow and let you know how it goes. THANKS!

I've never done this, but you may want to look into named sessions. If you know the name of both sessions you should be able to switch between them.

Good idea, Matt. I have a feeling we'll all learn a little bit about sessions from this small task.
