Hi all,

We currently have a lot of information which are held in the $_SESSION.

Is there any way to carry this information to another site which we own?

Nope. When the user leaves your site all the session data are destroyed.

But you can still save what you want in cookies, and then on the other site make a new session with the retrieved info.

Thanks for the answer (although i might add that the session seems to destroy when the browser is closed - as opposed to leave the site).

Anyhow, you answered the question. Thanks.

Session data won't be distroyed if they are stored on server side. You can continue to carry a session from site to site if the two sites are hosted on the same server. If you can't define the session storing path from both sites to the same location, you could store session data in a db instead.

Thanks MG,

The two sites ARE hosted on the same server, so how do i "define the session storing path from both sites to the same location".

Thanks again.

PHP Code:

// From php of site #1
session_save_path('/home/site1/public_html/sessions/');
 
// From php of site #2
session_save_path('/home/site1/public_html/sessions/'); 


The sessions will still need to go by the same session name for this to work, and remember to set the correct permissions on the path dir.

Excellent. Thanks.
