The root of your problem is that sessions generally do not traverse multiple domains. A possible solution is to embed an image in each of the servers which references a PHP script in the other server, and while doing so passes the sessionID along.
On server abc.foo.org you might have the following: <image src="http://xyz.foo.org/sessionMap.php?sessionId=123456789"; /> While on server xyz.goo.org you would have the following: <image src="http://abc.foo.org/sessionMap.php?sessionId=123456789"; /> What this does is create a session on the other server even though the user has not "seemingly" visited it. By passing the original session ID you indicate the session ID that should be used for the new session and thus bypass any session ID generation. Then if the user visits that site they will already be set up, and provided the session data is stored in the same database for each site then all information will be transferable. The image which accesses the other server's sessionMap.php script would only need to be output to the browser when a new session is created. HTH, Rob.
