I noticed after an unmentioned host installed an ssl cert for me that if I connected to www.mydomain.com I was getting a diferent session than connecting to mydomain.com. I cana see this causing huge problems as I try to finalize credit card processing and need to hard code some https links. I emailed tech support for the host and got this response:
"This is most likely due to the fact that your session is URL dependant. Depending
upon how your code is storing the sessions for your visitors. It is possible to make
it non URL dependant but this will all depend upon your code.
If you have any questions please let me know."
Not sure if the ssl cert has anything to do with it, that's just when I noticed it.
I'm not aware of any url dependant code. I'm just using session_start() and setting vars like $_SESSION['foo'] = "bar";
Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I was thinking it could be a dns issue, but I'm not sure.
btw, not using cookies right now and I would prefer not to have to re-write a ton of code to do so.
Thanks
edit:
figured it out. It was an .ini issue with session.cookie_domain
