Same Session in New Window?

[benbox]

hi there,

I've got a little popup window on my site coming from a page whic has a session, what I want to do is retrieve the session variables from the session in the new window (so my access control file will let me access it)..

Ive tried putting this at the top of my popup window
$uid = $_SESSION('uid') ;
but obviously there is a different session being a different window...

how can I get the previous session, perhaps by passing the session variable over in the link?

Any help would be much appreciated,

Thanks for looking!

on the JavaScript you are using to create your pop the is a place you have a URL at the end of this URL is where you pass your session

remember to declare your session at the top of each page including the popup
