Session is not available in different browser

[deecee2000]

My code:

File1.php
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['name'] = 'ABC';
?>

File2.php
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['name'])
{
echo "Session Set";
}
else
{
echo "Session not Set";
}
?>

When I try to run first file "file1.php" and then "file2.php" in Firefox, session value showing correctly at file2.php
But then if I try "file2.php" in IE the session value is not showing there.

How can I fix this issue.

Any help would appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Each browser has its own "cookie jar", and so is completely ignorant of any cookies in any other browser's "jar." Therefore when you access the first page with the first browser, the response from the server includes a cookie with the session ID. When you access the 2nd page, the first browser sends that cookie back to the host to identify itself, allowing the host to know which session data to use. When you access that 2nd page with the 2nd browser, that browser has no current session cookie to send with its request (or else it has its own cookie with a different session ID that will either point to different session data, expired data, or non-existent data).

Clear as mud?

There is no fixing it, as this is the correct behaviour. If you could pass sessions around like that, it would be a huge security hole.

It also makes sense conceptually: a session is something that exists between a server and a client. Different client, different session.
