Session is lost when using ( or not using) www in the URL

[rizwan6feb]

Hi everyone, I am having a problem in with PHP sessions. Most of the URLs i haved used in PHP are in the form http://www.example.com i.e include www in the url. But if someone types http://example.com in the address bar of the browser and logs in, i redirect them to http://www.example.com/account.php their session is lost. How can i resolve this

Can we see the code? My first guess, that there is a missing session_start() could be the thing to check but there may be something else going on.

Post the code - remember to use code tags.

Cheers

Heya, rizwan6feb.

My first guess is that your session cookie is restricted to the www subdomain.

Look at your php.ini file's session cookie settings (http://php.net/manual/en/session.con....cookie_domain) and see if you need to adjust it (probably from '' to '.myweb.com').

Thanks, sorry for late response

session.cookie_ domain variable is set to 'no value'

Try setting it to '.example.com' (replace "example.co m" with your domain). Then restart Apache, clear your cookies and try again.

More than one domain pointing to the same site, or are there multiple sites on your box?

More than one domains on a single box
