However, the browser is free to fetch the two frames in parallel, and that means you could sometimes end up with different sessions in each. This is a really good reason to just abandon frames, as if there weren't enough others already... That said, in the FRAMESET page, you can do start_session() and pass it down into the FRAME URLs: <?php session_start(); $session_id = session_id(); ?> <FRAMESET ...> <FRAME SRC="...&PHPSESSID=<?php echo $session_id?>" ...> <FRAME SRC="...&PHPSESSID=<?php echo $session_id?>" ...> </FRAMESET> You will need to get the right variable name, or you may even need to do like this in the FRAME pages: <?php $session_id = $_GET['PHPSESSID']; session_id($session_id); //SET the session ID to what's passed in session_start(); ?> The caveat, though, is that you are now exposing your session ID in the URLs, which is not so good for security reasons. If it's over SSL, it's fine. If it's not, and if security matters, then you either need to move to SSL or abandon frames. You should abandon frames anyway... -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
