Management of session on different platforms.

[bhavin_sv]

Hello friends,

I am working on an application which is developed in ASP.This application internally uses some modules of php. This php is alltogether different application but running in same IIS server on advanced windows 2003 OS,with MSSql2k as a backaned support.

I need to create a session bridge between both of this applications. I mean when i switch to ASP application from php there should be some funcitonality which can pass the asp session id to ASP application. By this i want to achieve one session between two applications.
How to create this session bridge through which i can pass the session of php to asp application and as session id to php application ?

Thank you in advance.

I don't think either ASP or PHP had in mind the possibility of the exchange of information between languages. I believe both saves session data in local files, so theoretically you could convert one into the other if you were perfectly knoledgeable on both you could make a converter, which would be tricky, and possibly too slow for web applications.

what you could do is transfer the desired data to form the PHP page to the ASP one (and vice-versa) via get or post.

I won't assure you now, but another option is to make an fopen() call to execute an asp/php file and request/input data via get, like:

fopen ('http://localhost/request_data.asp?id=777');
fopen ('http://localhost/input_data.asp?data1=1&data2=2');

except it's not going to be easy either, IF it works
