php session problem

Question

i'm having a very weird session problem under php: (works perfectly locally but not on my internet-server)

the problem:

• i'm loading a page - i'm defining a php session via jQuery $.post in an external php script
• i'm refreshing the page - session is still there
• i'm loading a different page - the session is gone (empty)

there's no unset or anything which might reset/clear the session. i'm using a global php include for the header which triggers session_start();

any ideas? thanks

Try setting your cookie parameters to allow the domain to work across subdomains:

$params = session_get_cookie_params();
session_set_cookie_params($params['lifetime'], $params['path'], '.example.org');

Where example.org is your domain name.

Then before printing anything to screen start your session :

session_start();

On every page/resource you wish to be able access session data.
