Session var in pop-up?

[m_henry]

Why isn't my session vars available when I create a pop-up window? For example, When a user has logged in a pop-up window (navigation bar) appears to help the user traverse the site more easily. This pop-up window, upon launch, accesses the users mysql database to recall the files they have loaded. Now the problem is I can't seem to pass the users ID from the login page to the pop-up window for proper database access? Anyone have a fix? All ideas welcome.

Thanks,
Marcel.

I assume that you issues session_start() at begining of the pop-up script?

yes. 🙂 But don't worry I found a nice fix for this, now I have another issue...How the heck do I get the pop up hyperlink to open the linked page into the "main" window? I am looking at the java script solution with window.opener but can not find any reference to my specific application.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Marcel.
