[RESOLVED] Any way to have $_SESSION['user'] specific to one subdomain?

sois

I think the root of my problem is not the cookies, but the session variable. I use $_SESSION['user'] for two sides on one domain (test.com/site1/ and test.com/site2/ for example) and use the same variable for both, as I used one as a template for the other.

Is there any way to have the session variables be specific to each site? Thanks!

Use session_name() before session_start() to change the session name for one of the subdomains.

If these are truly sub-domains, e.g.: [noparse]"http://site1.test.com" and "http://site2.test.com"[/noparse], then either in each script via [man]session_set_cookie_params[/man] -- or more easily via the session.cookie_domain param in an .htaccess file in each directory -- you could set the domain for each to the full subdomain, and then they will not be shared between sub-domains. E.g.:

<?php
session_set_cookie_params(0, '/', 'site1.test.com');
session_start();

perfect!

thanks for the other information as well, NogDog, but the directories are not true subdomains, I just don't know the correct term for "folders on a server" 🙂
