Session variables across domains

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 21.2005

I have a website and I want the user to log in on a https:// page and then go back to a normal http:// page (no SSL). The secure pages on this server are under a different domain — so it’s like this:

Normal page:
[url]http://mydomain/page.php[/url]

Same page, secure:
[url]https://secure.theirdomain/mydomain/page.php[/url]

So is there a way to keep session variables across those domains? If I go to a secure page it says I’m logged in, but on the same page unsecured, it’s not logged in.

Thanks

I would go with the url suggestion. Assign a unique query string to the client and store that ID in MySQL along with any other client info you gathered.

Success!
