[PHP] Re: Sessions in Frames...confused
Do not use frames :) It creates problems for the searchengines. /Peter Ryan A [EMAIL PROTECTED] skrev i meddelandet news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Reading the different articles on phpbuilder/devshed/phpfreaks etc has left me a bit confused.. will start from the beginning so you guys(and girls) can give me some advise and show me the right path again ;-) I have a normal user/pass login screen, after which I start a session for the client and the client should be presented with the control panel for his software. The control panel is in frames and is split in 2 (sideFrame, mainFrame) sideFrame is for the navigation. Do I have to start a session in index.php which is calling the sideFrame and mainFrame or just in mainFrame or just in sideFrame or in all?? AGH! going nuts! The idea is if the session expires he should be present with the login page again...I am not doing anything special or complicated, just need to make sure he is who he says he is and give him access as long as his sesssion is good.

[PHP] Re: Sessions and frames
A little update, seems I was wrong about the session cookie being set when the page is first access. The first time the page is accessed no session cookie or /tmp file is generated. I think this may be because the site that is loading my content in a frame is also generating a cookie. Is that a probable cause for my problem? If yes (or) how can I get a session to be started (using cookies) when my content is loaded into a frame?

After much head banging I found the answer. I had set my browser to only allow cookies from the originating site to be set. (This prevent banner ads from setting cookies). Of course the first time my frame was loaded the browser was seeing it as content not from the originating site and hence blocking the session cookie from being set ... argh. One more reason to hate frames :) Jean-Christian Imbeault -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Re: Sessions and frames
It has nothing to do with the other site. Browser makes a separate request for the frame content and you can set cookies without any problem. You should check if the cookie is realy set and if the cookie parameters are right (eg. in Mozilla's cookie manager).
