Lost session variables

[jimdavidson]

I have some code that runs fine on one web site and if I use the same code on another site the variables are empty when I get to the second page.

Example: Site One
if (!$error) {
$SESSION['number_drivers'] = $POST['number_drivers'];

$SESSION['number_vehicles'] = $POST['number_vehicles'];

$SESSION['current_insurance'] = $POST['current_insurance'];

$SESSION['current_company'] = $POST['current_company'];

$SESSION['refferal'] = $POST['refferal'];
session_write_close();
// go to step two
header('Location: http://www.mywebsite.com/auto_quote2.php');
exit;
}

Example: Site Two
if (!$error) {
$SESSION['number_drivers'] = $POST['number_drivers'];

$SESSION['number_vehicles'] = $POST['number_vehicles'];

$SESSION['current_insurance'] = $POST['current_insurance'];

$SESSION['current_company'] = $POST['current_company'];

$SESSION['refferal'] = $POST['refferal'];
session_write_close();
// go to step two
header('Location: http://www.myotherwebsite.com/auto_quote2.php');
exit;
}

The sites are hosted by different companies.

On site #1 everything runs just fine but on site #2 the saved session variables get lost.

I notice when I ran phpinfo() on both of them that on site #1 the session.save_path is set at no value while on site #2 it is set as C:\WINDOWS\Temp

Is this the reason I can't find the session variables on site #2 and if so how can I retrieve them?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

hm.. Somehow what you are trying to do feels wrong; If one were able to pass the session along to a different domain on a different server, that sounds to me like a huge security risk.

Can't you redirect with the variables in the $_GET? That would to me be more logical

Maybe I didn't describe the problem correctly, I'm not trying to transfer info from one domain to another. It's just that the code works on one domain but the same code doesn't work on the other domain.
