Include page

[loll]

Hi,

I am having some trouble with including a file from a external webpage

I have two servers on the main server I have set a session variable (eg. $name)

on that server I have a file that reads:

session_start();
echo "hello " . $_SESSION['name'];

when I run this on the main server it prints the value of $name as expected. eg. "hello john"

When I include this file from a external page. it does not print it out , it only prints out "hello" and nothign else. even though the session value has been previously set on the main server.

Is this something I am doing wrong , or is that just the way it works when including from external pages. Is there a way to get the value of session values like this?

I also tried readfile and that produced the same result, no session values when including from a external page.

Thank! 🙂

Sessions dont work accross domains, its a security issue. You would need to pass any values accross via the url or a hidden filed and then create a new session on the new domain.
