Sessions and Framsets...doesn't work in PHP

[RicoCali]

When using sessions (session_start() in PHP contained in:

<FRAMESET ROWS=&quot;100%,*&quot;>
<FRAME SRC=&quot;

http://someurl.com/index.php&quot;>

<FRAME SRC=&quot;blank.html&quot;>
</FRAMESET>

Once the link is routed to index.php the sessions cease to function. Is there a way around this?

start the session in your frameset perhaps
(or make the frameset the index.php and start with the page you want to start with in your frameset)

I've never had a problem with framesets and sessions.

Sessions, by default, use cookies. And cookies are domain-specific. Are all the frames of your frameset in the same domain name?

Actually yes...the original URL is something like:

http://mydomain.com

The index.html file looks like:

<FRAMESET ROWS=&quot;100%,*&quot;>
<FRAME SRC=&quot;

http://123.123.123.123/index.php&quot;>;

<FRAME SRC=&quot;blank.html&quot;>
</FRAMESET>

I reference the other domain as an IP. The reference to the other domain (123.123.123.123)uses index.php which uses session_start(). When I do session_register() it doesn't pick it up from all the other pages. The sessions do work if I don't use this paradigmn.

Thanks for the reply,

Again, sessions use cookies, and cookies are specific to a single domain. Unless all the frames of your frameset are referenced, by name, as being part of the same domain name in the URL, the cookies won't work and neither will the sessions.

You could try configuring PHP to sent sessions via tag-editing.
