Are you calling session_start() on both pages or at least using a session auto start? Also, is the API returning the data by redirecting the client (browser) or doing a postback? If the remote server is calling back behind the scenes, then you'll need a workaround and additional processing, or the ability to pass the session ID and assume the client-initiated session (not ideal). If it's all processed by the browser, the redirection should have no bearing, as the session will persist based upon the server-side data and the client-side cookie; the server will have no knowledge of the client's redirection to the payment gateway (nor any remote destination).
[PHP] Session Vars not staying active
Hi all, I am having trouble with session vars. I'm trying to implement the credit card direct pay method outlined here... http://developer.authorize.net/api/dpm/ - Basically, page 1 is my form that goes outside my site to the cc gateway company then comes back with a result... (PG2) Problem: if I try to create session vars on page 1 - they don't work on page 2. Am I correct in thinking that when this process leaves my site and goes to the gateway, then returns, it is similar to creating a new session and that is why the session vars don't remain active? Thanks in advance. -- Thanks, Dave - DealTek deal...@gmail.com [db-3]

Just a thought that came to my mind: Have you disabled browser caching?
And about the "push" is undefined in the logs: How do you call the
script for the first time? With or with push parameter?

[PHP] Session variable not persisting
Hi all, I'll be swift in my explanation as I can't find in any way the source of the problem; it seems to be installation-related.

Re: [PHP] Session ?
I've read about passing the session id to a script and using that to opene
up the existing session file. Is this something I could do in this case?
Or am I SOL?
You can pass the session ID and reactivate the session that way,
sure. Not pretty, and it does lead to security considerations, but it
would work.
Hi Daniel,
Your security consideration important for me and I really need to know
what am I missing.
Using your xs(cross-site) request and cookie based authentication with
user-name and password has same level security problems. if you use
tokens they can not reading or using by an other pages. Attacker must
guess a random token(its difficult then guess passwords). if your
browser hacked or your main page has bad js code. This is bigger problem
then using xs request. they can get your password or session id.
I try to clarify my point of view for better discussion,
both servers can use same log-in database or enable to query each other.
after logged-in first.domain or a.first.domain
user has ability to call an other trusted server without password and
user-name.
when hit the page has XS button first.domain server will generate random
key and random value
and send in button code with secure protocol.(before send, you must
check referrer and token for CSRF protection)
detailed client info, secure key and value must store in session
database for later security check.
(you need more 3 columns key value and expire-date)
sample button code in
https://second.domain/need_to_see_without_user_input.php:
//after logged in your-first.domain
echo "action='https://second.domain/need_to_see_without_user_input.php'
method='post' style='' >";
echo "name='long_random_secure_xs_cookie_name'
value='{$long_random_secure_xs_cookie_value}' style='' >";
echo "run script 2 on second.domain" ;
echo "";
echo "";
clicking that button same as write down password, user name and click
submit. but easier and not less secure then password authentication.
key and value must be long and secure enough (not like unique-id).
second server side:
-check the name and value and expire date IP browser etc.
- if there is any valid session in first server then clear key and value
don't touch server first.domain session data
- create new session on server second.domain width same user.
now same user has different valid session on both servers.
this method looks safe as password and user name authentication
just focus on sending secure key and value to the real client!!!
Of-course some old browsers has security holes
conditions:
-old browsers like Firefox 5
-(not easy but possible; newer browsers with some dangerous add-ons )
-not using tokens every page/form requests (after log-in first.domain)
after logged-in first.domain attacker can use this holes alter the
referrer and can get secure key and value
there is a solution ;they cannot alter post data referrer(if browser not
hacked) if you post back the token you will be quite safe.(check
referrer and token)
I guess this is fit public users who use password authentication.
if you are company user or security guy You must use certificate
authentication with VPN.
There is no absolute security in theory. But we have to discus how will
be improved. Because bad guys already doing that in opposite way.
Thanks,
Hakan Can.

OK - I've done this in script 1:

$sess_id = $_REQUEST['sess'];
else
$sess_id = '';
if ($sess_id > '')
{
session_start($sess_id);
$errmsg .= "started sess id is: $sess_id ";

Then my process creates a Session array and calls script 2
In script 2 I have:
if (isset($_GET['sess']) && $_GET['sess'] <> '')
{
$sess_id = $_GET['sess'];
session_start($sess_id);
$errmsg .= "started sess $sess_id ";
}
else
{
session_start();
$sess_id = session_id();
$errmsg = "started NEW sess with id of $sess_id ";
}
My $errmsg shows me the same sess id in both scripts, and it would
appear that I have managed to pass my session across the sub-domains.
But when script 2 attempts to access the contents of the Session array
created in script 1 it doesn't find it. What am I not doing?
Forgot to mention that when I do header(...) to go to script 2 that I do
append the session id to my url
Same on the return from script 2 back to script 1.
Plugging away at my problem still. Here is something interesting.
Apparently I don't understand how some of these session settings work.
In my script 2 (the called one) I have this code:
if (isset($_REQUEST['sess']))
$sess_id = $_REQUEST['sess'];
else
$sess_id = '';
if ($sess_id > '')
{
session_start($sess_id);
$errmsg .= "started sess with id of $sess_id ";
}
else
{
session_start();
$errmsg .= "started a NEW sess ";
}
$sid = session_id();
$errmsg .= "started sess actual id is: $sid ";
Now - there is a 'sess' argument in my url string that calls this, so I
am using the branch of the logic that shows me that I "started sess with
id of ". But I've added the last two lines to check on that and I
get "started sess actual id is: zz" - NOT the right id.
Can someone explain the use of session ids and the right commands to
use? From my understanding my thinking is:
in script 1 after establishing the initial session wiht a session_start():
1 - get the session id save it in a hidden field on my screen
2 - when script 1 starts again, retrieve the id and when going to my
script 2 (in the other sub-dom) attach it as an argument
3 - in the called script 2, retrieve the argument from the url and start
the session with:
session_start($sessid)
4 - save the sessid in this screen's fields
5 - when script 2 gets control again, retrieve the id from the hidden
field and if the user has opted to return to script 1, attach the
session id to the url again.
All my debugging messages indicagte that I have the same session id, yet
I don't have the same variables, ie, they're missing.

I know i'm late to the party here but I had to do something similar
I used something similar to
http://www.nczonline.net/blog/2010/09/07/learning-from-xauth-cross-domain-localstorage/
ie storing the session state in html localstorage objects then using the
methods in that link to read them thru iframes on the other domain...

That won't work and should not work. You could technically do it, but you'd be deliberately creating an XSS for your sites. If it worked that way on its own, it would either be (a) a horrible browser or (b) 1995.

Re: [PHP] Session data lost in Firefox
Looks like it was a corrupted Paypal cookie lurking about on my test machine. Clearing all Paypal cookies cured the problem. Hours can be spent looking for needles like this in a very complex haystack and it turns out to be the simplest solution that's not even related directly to the programming. Thanks, Andrew for the prompting! However if this happened on a punter's computer the same would happen - so is there a way of coding the removal of third party cookies to avoid this problem?

I've seen a lot of people code that way, so it's easy to miss. In your
original code, that first statement was calling session_start() 1,000
times. This is because the first time through, SID is undefined so
defined(SID) was equivalent to defined('SID') and both would have
returned false. After the first session_start(), though, SID WAS
defined, but would have had some pseudo-random session identifier as
its value. As a result, the last 999 times through your loop, you were
actually scanning the defined constants to see if there was one named
something like '7cjubadsh5lkq80opemht2ea03'. Obviously, it would never
exist.

Yes, that is more correct. I think we have output buffering enabled on
most of our servers (a lot of our legacy stuff really depends on it)
so I didn't notice any errors, but you are correct. You really don't
need the echo lines that I added in your test at all though. I just
threw it in there to be able to see when the function was being
called. However, due to the nature of your test page you are still
sending output from the first loop before you call session_start() in
the second loop. To be absolutely correct, you'd have to remove those
echo statements I added for debugging, store all of your timings in
separate variables and then output them at the end of the script.

The php manual ( http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php )
First Note states that session_start() must be called *before* anything sent to
the Browser.
So, to rewrite your code --
for($i=1; $i < 1000; $i++)
{
if (!defined('SID'))
{
session_start();
echo __LINE__, '::session_start()';
}

Again thanks.
Sorry, I totally missed your point.
In my "defense" I commonly use the value returned from microtime() as a string
and not as a float. The code that followed my "microtime( false );" demo broke
the string and recombined it into a float. So, when you said:
Please see the current signature for microtime():
mixed microtime ([ bool $get_as_float = false ] )
I looked at that and said to myself, "Oh, I need to define it as 'false' "
because I was using it as a sting. I completely overlooked your point that

tedd,
I think this is because you passed SID to defined() as a constant
rather than a string, so the if test always returns true. When I
changed this to
if (!defined('SID'))
{
session _start();
}
it worked as expected, and I got much more similar results. I also
added a call to session_destroy() between the two tests so that each
loop initialized the session once. (In your test, the second loop
never initializes the session since it was already started by the
first loop.)
This is your code with my modifications:
';
session_start();
}
}
session_destroy();
$endtime = microtime(true);
$totaltime = $endtime - $starttime;
$totaltime = round($totaltime,5);
echo "First in $totaltime seconds.";
$starttime = microtime(true);
// whatever you want timed, you do here.
for($i=1; $i < 1000; $i++)
{
if (session_id() ==='')
{
echo __LINE__, '::session_start()';
session_start();
}
}
$endtime = microtime(true);
$totaltime = $endtime - $starttime;
$totaltime = round($totaltime,5);
echo "Second in $totaltime seconds.";
session_destroy();
?>

Just to clarify, since at least 4.3.x subsequent calls session_start raise an E_NOTICE and are ignored, so you're first call is generating almost all the time.

I had tried that without success and had neglected to mention that in my post. The reason that it doesn't work, AFAICT, is that, since suPHP runs PHP as CGI and not DSO, the Apache directives are not available to it. Any other ideas?

[PHP] How to best set per-site PHP session storage under suPHP/WordPress?
I'm administering WordPress sites under suPHP on a CentOS LAMP server and would like to know how I can set PHP to keep the session files under the WP user's dir without having do duplicate the entire php.ini file for each WP site while still maintaining adequate security. The problems I'm encountering are that, AFAICT, I have basically two choices: 1. Use the suPHP "suPHP_ConfigPath" to set the path to a per-site php.ini file containing a "session.save_path" directive. 2. Put php.ini files with the "session.save_path" directive within the WP dir hier. The problems with the above two options (I have found no other options so far) are that, for the former, the system php.ini file is not read so the per-site php.ini file(s) have to duplicate most if not all of what's in the system php.ini file; this is for each WP site (if not a WP Net (AKA WPMU) install); and for the latter, -any-and-every- subdir in the WP dir hier that has code that may reference the PHP session must have its own php.ini file in it. Either way it becomes a significant maintenance problem, especially once there are more than one or two such sites. I have not been able to find much documentation on this, either in the PHP site or in the various help forums. I've searched quite extensively and have run some tests of my own using phpinfo.php to see how things are set. I do not desire to open up file permissions to bypass this PHP settings issue altogether due to security concerns (though I do wish an answer could be so simple). What's canonical in such a case? If nothing, are there any other alternatives? My desired solution would be to be able to put one php.ini (or equivalent) file per site that would contain the needed directive which would be merged with the settings from the system php.ini, overriding only the session.save_path, but, AFAICT, PHP does not seem to allow this.

Before you answer, the "(!defined(SID))" is over 50 times slower than "(

Your way is better.

If you're not telling PHP (in php.ini) to auto-start the session, then you'll need session_start() before accessing $_SESSION. If you're certain the session is being properly instantiated in the code, make sure that the user as which the web server (Apache, et al) is running has permission and available disk space to access the session storage media (file system such as /tmp, database table, et cetera). -- Network Infrastructure Manager http://www.php.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

A PHP script that recorded (via MySQL) the date/time when the user successfully accessed something private (i.e., password protected). 2. The next time the user requested protected-access again, I would have the script look at the last time the user accessed this data and see IF the time period between accesses (then and now) exceeded an established time limit. If so, then deny access. If not, then reset the timer and allow access. That's the way it would work on the server-side. However, the server-side really has no efficient way to notify the user their session is "about" to expire -- instead that should take place client-side and without question, you'll need a client-side JavaScript timer. The client-side timer simply preforms a count-down and notifies the user when their session is about to expire. The important thing to realize here is that the client-side and server-side scripts have no communication between each other nor is any needed other than when to start the count-down. The two scripts are separate, but are working in "apparent" concert. The server-side script will be the ultimate decider of IF the user's session has timed out or not. The client-side script only notifies the user of the count-down and nothing else.

Actually session_commit does not "terminate" the session as mentioned earlier but is closes it for writing. You cann still read session values. The benefit of using session_commit is that the server saved associated session file is no longer locked, so that parallel requests can both access the values. The approach ist as follows: Call session_commit() as early in you code (after session_open) as possible to avoid locking. So first do all the writing to the $_SESSION array, then do write close (or commit). After that you can still read all session relevant information. If you want to write afterwards to your $_SESSIOn array you simply have to call session_start to re-open the write context. Afterwards you can commit it again to remove the lock. But be careful! session_start and session_commit perform write operations on your harddisk or whatever storage you use. Many calls to start and commit will result in losing performance.

thank you for your explanation,
when i write to $_SESSION after session_commit(),$_SESSION is just a
regular array

Hi,
So, you:
1) Visit page a.php (I'm assuming without the flag)
2) Are forwarded to page b.php, which you're expecting to store a
session variable 'test'.
3) Then forwarded back to page a.php.
You're likely expecting that you're return visit to page a.php should
reveal the 'test' variable.
The issue is that you're calling session_commit(), which is actually
an alias for session_write_close(). This function actually stops the
current session. So, when you hit the line $_SESSION['test'] = 'test',
your session has already terminated.
Try removing the session_commit() calls (or at least permanently
remove the first call.) You only want to call session_commit() when
you're done accessing/updating $_SESSION variables.

Yes, because $_SESSION is not special in any way other than that it's used by
the session system; it's no more than a superglobal array. So within one
request that array contains whatever you put into it, but that doesn't mean it
is stored in whatever session storage mechanism you're using (files by
default). When you redirect to another URL that's a whole new request so the
contents of $_SESSION have to be loaded from the session storage.

I'm really not clear on what you're trying to do here, but the behaviour you're
describing is as designed. When you call session_commit() you are saving and
closing the session, so nothing done to $_SESSION after that point will be
saved, even if you call session_commit() again.

Hi, Jim To avoid this kind of problem it would also help to provide an autoloader-function as PHP then tries to load the class-definition by this autoloader ;) Using that you'd bind yourself to have a pretty good system for php-classes and you'd avoid having problems like that. I'd in fact have never thought about a solution like that - but that may comes from the fact that I always use auto-loader-scripts ;) One additional info: I had some problems putting an instance of *SimpleXmlElement *into the session ...

Put the following line at the top of the code that you posted and post the
output.
echo ''; var_dump($_SESSION['TMScurr_evts']); die('');
Have you checked your error log, or your error settings? Scripts generally
don't stop executing for no reason or without saying why.

What is the type of $e (i.e. what's the class called)?
Side note... it looks like GetAnEntry fetches the entry into internal data.
This isn't really how objects are supposed to work. To be more OO-like you
should be passing the recordkey and Eventcode values into the constructor. But
that's not relevant to your issue.

In the above script, the one that gets the objects out of the session, has the
class been declared? IOW, have you included the PHP file that defines that
class? If not then it won't be able to recreate the object.
If that was the problem then I suggest you make sure you have error_reporting
set to at least E_ALL, and display_errors set on, because this issue will be
causing a fatal error, the text of which would make it obvious what's going
wrong.

[PHP] SESSION var and Objects problem
My first foray into classes & objects.
When retrieving a set of records, I'm using a class to build an object. At
this time I save each record/object into a Session array by doing this:
$rows = mysql_num_rows($qrslts);
if ($rows > 0)
for ($i=1;$i<=$rows;$i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($qrslts);
$e = new Entry;
if ($e->GetAnEntry($row['recordkey'],$row['Eventcode']))
{
$evts[] = $e;
array_push($_SESSION['TMScurr_evts'],$e); // THIS DOESN'T
$cls_errs .= " Stored $e->event in sess var $i-1; "; // THIS
WORKS
}
else
$cls_errs .= "Could not retrieve event record for
".$row['recordkey']." ".$row['Eventcode'];
}
The above code works AFAIK - the line above the array_push correctly stores
my retreived record data in the $evts array just fine and I can see the
data when I use that array to display my page.
Note also that the var $cls_errs following the array_push does show me that
valid values are being stored in $e
Later on, in my main process I attempt to retreive the contents of my
Session var to use to re-display the data. The code for that doesn't
display any values. In trying to debug this here is what I've done:
$cnt = count($_SESSION['TMScurr_evts']);
echo "In Display process with $cnt recs in session var TMScurr_evts. ";
// THIS WORKS
reset($_SESSION['TMScurr_evts']);
$e = new Entry;
for ($i=0;$ievent";//
THIS DOESN'T
}
This debugging code correctly tells me how many entries are in the Session
array variable, but the attempt to echo the values stored in the first field
of each object contained in it shows blank for each one.
What am I doing wrong when I try to pull the contents of my session array
out and store them back into an Entry object, one at a time, so that I can
display the object on my webpage??

I believe this may be causing the issue you are seeing. I tried using it without success. I'm having now 3 separate session IDs: 1. Before the login form is processed, 2. After the login form is processed, 3. When clicking the Articles link, on the articles.php page. -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: Francophile My blog: http://oire.org/menelion (mostly in Russian) Twitter: http://twitter.com/m_elensule Facebook: http://facebook.com/menelion -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

One thing sticks out a little bit to me. In your index.php file, you're
accessing an element of the $_SESSION array, but without calling
session_start() first. I believe this may be causing the issue you are seeing.

[PHP] Session treating
Hi guys and girls,
I'm completely stuck at a really stupid thing.
For some reason my session id doesn't pass through the links.
Here is the code:
index.php:
Invalid login or password!";
include "login.php";
} else {
// Attention!
session_name("PalantirSessId");
session_start();
// Everything goes Ok here
printf("Session name: %s, Session Id: %s", session_name(), session_id());
$_SESSION['PSS']=session_id();
$_SESSION['Editor']=$_POST['uname'];
$auth=1;
}
}
}
if ($auth==1) {
echo "
";
include "header.html";
// Still ok! the same name, the same Id
printf("Session name: %s, Session Id: %s", session_name(), session_id());
end of code.
But now go the links such as
Articles management
And there, in the articles.php, I write the following:

RE: [PHP] Session question
You can have a session start in an htaccess file. .htaccess php_value session.auto_start 1 Do not scream at me if you do not like this approach or it does not work for you. I use it and it works well for me. Simply a suggestion. Richard L.

[PHP] Session question
Is it OK to have session_start as an include?
I have something like this:
// Session init
session_start();
function sKill() {
session_destroy();
session_unset();
header ("Location: login.php");
exit();
}
function sInt() {
header ("Location: login.php");
exit();
}
if (!(isset($_SESSION['sLogin']) && $_SESSION['sLogin'] != '')) {
sKill();
}
// Session variables
if (!isset($_SESSION['sUser'])) { sInt(); } else { $sUser =
$_SESSION['sUser'];}
if (!isset($_SESSION['sEmail'])) { sInt(); } else { $sEmail =
$_SESSION['sEmail'];}
if (!isset($_SESSION['sType'])) { sInt(); } else { $sType =
$_SESSION['sType'];}
if (!isset($_SESSION['sTime'])) { sInt(); } else { $sTime =
$_SESSION['sTime'];}
if (!isset($_REQUEST['id'])) { $id = 0; } else { $id = $_REQUEST['id'];}
// Kill the session if the ids dont match.
if ($id != $_SESSION['id']) {
sKill();
}
// Kill the session if timeout is exceeded.
if (isset($_SESSION['LAST_ACTIVITY']) && (time() -
$_SESSION['LAST_ACTIVITY'] > $sTime)) {
sKill();
}
Can I just call this session.php and include it at the beginning of each file?
