SESSIONS not being passed

[thekidscareya]

I have a file called course.php

<?php
session_start();
// lots of code here
?>[<a href="javascript:popup('more.php?<?php echo session_name().'='.session_id();?>');">more</a>] <br>

The popup opens fine, but it asks me to login.

Popup

<?php
// Start that session
session_start();

// validation
if($_SESSION['is_logged_in'] == false)
		{
		$_GET['url'] = $PHP_SELF;
		include "login.php";
		}else{
// page contents
}

It always seems to include login.php?url=/more.php, which is fine if the user isn't logged in.

I use the same if statement on the course.php and it works fine. I have a feeling that the session isn't passing from the main window to the popup window.

What do I have to do to fix this?

Thanks in advance for your help. I appreciate it.

Have you considered using the constant SID? That's what this is for (manually inserting the Session ID into a URL). Do you [man]urlencode[/man] data that you're inserting into URLs?

It's also bad; if you want to see if a variable is set or not you should use [man]isset[/man].

You could tell if this is the case by looking at the HTML that is received by the browser.
