Answer 1

Use this: http://ca3.php.net/session_set_cookie_params To set the domain to match all subdomains do this:

session_set_cookie_params($lifetime, '/', '.domain.com');

You need to use that before a calling session_start().

You could use this code example taken straight from the link above, which let's you keep all the current settings except the domain:

$currentCookieParams = session_get_cookie_params(); 

$rootDomain = '.example.com'; 

session_set_cookie_params( 
    $currentCookieParams["lifetime"], 
    $currentCookieParams["path"], 
    $rootDomain, 
    $currentCookieParams["secure"], 
    $currentCookieParams["httponly"] 
); 

session_name('mysessionname'); 
session_start();
