passing session id via url

Question

I\'m trying to get my script to use url session id instead of cookies. The following page is not picking up the variable in the url as the session id. I must be missing some

Answer 1

It looks like you just need to call session_start() on the second page.

From the docs:

session_start() creates a session or resumes the current one based on the current session id that's being passed via a request, such as GET, POST, or a cookie.

EDIT:

That said, you could also try manually grabbing the session id from the query string. On the second page you'd need to do something like:

ini_set("session.use_cookies",0);
ini_set("session.use_trans_sid",1);
session_id($_GET['session_id']);
print_r($_SESSION);
print(session_id());

Note that the session_id() function will set the id if you pass it the id as a parameter.
