session variables

fifteen15

I have one big problem. I used session variable on my program by declaring them using session_register(). My program won't function without them. Apparently, one of the pages needs to be on a secure site. Unfortunately, the the secure site is on a different domain. The values of the session variables I was using was gone after redirecting my page. I can't anymore use the session variable on that page (page that is on a different domain).

How can I use my old session variables? How can I pass them?

Thank you very much.

A session variable in different domain??You can't.I suppose so and encountered this problem some months ago.
You can use cookies instead session to have variables stored in client computer............

The problem with cookies is that not all clients allow cookies to be stored in them.

Are you sure that session cookies can't be re-used on a different domain even if both the domains are located on one server?

How about SID? Ive tried to use SID but I never make it to work. Is it helpful?

Don't know much about SID , only that store the session_id, if a particular option of php.ini is set you can take no care of SID.It's passed throw browser and not link....well look at manual.....
For what i know if you put a session variable and you are for example in server A and you click on a link that open a web page that is on server B the variable is lost becouse the other server with session_start() open a new session.So for what i have tried session_start open a session and it depend on that server.Not know if you are in the same server but different domain it work....try!
