Ok guys ive been on this since 9pm and its now 5:30AM

I am stumped and after pouring over google I have no solved this issue

Situation:
the following is just for straight example so you guys can understand what I need

Page.php -- has a special division thats empty and on Link Click calls

Javascript to change inner.html to an IFRAME call

So the user clicks the link and then it shows the division and loads the IFRAME

The IFRAME Source is

iframe.php

in IFRAME.PHP I need to take the Session Variables that were set already in Page.php

all sessions work fine when not using Iframe (open iframe.php in its own window)

but doesnt work when its Iframed and sadly I have to use Iframe on this page

NOW the CATCH is -- I CANNOT use any POST or GET Values
the iframe src MUST be straight url to the page aka src="www.blah.com/iframe.php"

cannot use variables in the url www.blah.com/iframe.php?sessid=blah etc..

IS it possible to do what I need Without passing variables via the url?

RECAP
Page1 has all session variables set, calls the iframe command when users presses a button, Iframe loads but DOES not have the Session data that was saved on Page1 -- and IFRAME cannot pass variables via the URL it must be a direct url to the page only

Hope i have explained this enough -- Below are some Code Snipplets

Page1.php

java used to set the HTML / IFRAME into its Div

Code:

<script>
function changeText(){
	document.getElementById('iframediv').innerHTML = "<iframe scrolling='no' frameborder='0' margin='0' src='http://mypage.blah/iframe.php'></iframe>";
}
</script>

Code Snipplet from the iframe.php to get session variables FROM page1.php

Code:

$uid = $_SESSION["usersid"];
$postID = $_SESSION["postsid"];
$pid = $_SESSION["partnerid"];
$serverid = $_SESSION["serverid"];
$user_name = $_SESSION["username"];

Any help is appreciated very much guys..
Thanks

Hi

The session id is stored in a browser cookie by default, and the browser will send it as long as the domain name is the same. Note that the www prefix can mess things up, since www.example.org is not the same as example.org. If the iframe is on a different domain name, you have to send the session id as a parameter.

Thank you for your input, I had solved this issue on my own. However you are correct - Part of my problem was indeed I had the URL set different No www. as opposed to the www. on the actual main page

Also I wanted to add some information for those who might also have a similiar problem

You will get Headers already sent errors if you place Echo commands for session_id and session_name

Most of my issues were because I was leaving those commands in place to make sure I did indeed transfer the session/cookies properly to the iframe and that was my fatal error - I was placing @ signs in front of the session call to ignore the errors when in fact those Errors where what was stopping the script from functioning

Since you were the only one who opted to help me out I will be adding A thank you to your account.

Thanks
