You cannot avoid using cookies. When you use Sessions web server is making use of cookies (unless you go for URL rewriting) which remains in the browser until one quits the browser.
To tackle your situation, you can effectively make use of a database table and a session cookie: 1. set a session cookie (different from one set by the server) as a soon as as a login is successful. This cookie should be set in such a way that the browser will send it back to any server in your domain. The value for this cookie can be the same as the value PHP generated for the Session ID. If you prefer to use some other value make sure that it is different for each session for each user to avoid security issues. 2. Store this value and the user ID (or something else to identify that user in your app) in a table. 3. Remove this row from the table when the user logs out or on Session timeout. Now, when the user is taken to your ASP server, browser will send that cookie set by the PHP server along with the request and the ASP server can query the database for that cookie value to get the user ID. If it can find it in the table the application can make sure that the request is valid and the rest of the info can be pulled from the database.
