Session Variable Across Domains

Trid3nt

Hey guys.

I was wondering if there was a way in PHP to create a session variable and have it apply across domains.

I have recently grabbed a domain name and used a forwarding service to have that domain point to my server's address and a few subdirectories in. I have chosen the "Masked" option from my domain provider meaning that the IP and path will not show up in the location bar, but rather my domain will instead so I don't confuse people. However, when they login to the site with a valid User/Pass the session variable is not received on the other page and so it won't let them in. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks.

After further testing I have some more info:

The problem is in the browser. If I use IE with a middle or higher privacy rating, it will not accept cookies from "third-party sites that do not have a compact privacy policy". Because my domain forwards to a path, it is considered a third-party site. I'm not sure how to influence my session variable's privacy policy in order to make it compact, but I will have to see.

Any thoughts?

Another possible solution would be to make my domain work correctly by not forwarding it but rather just having the domain work like all others, but I'm not sure that I know how to do that through my provider (http://www.thriftys.com). If anyone has gone through them before, I would very much appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks!
