Any sample code would be appreciated. Nothing will happen as you'll be using the same session file so it will not be cleaned up. What don't you try reading the page for session_set_save_handler() and start from there... -- ---John Holmes...

Any sample code would be appreciated. if at all i decide to go for database then do i need 'session.save_handler' as 'user' ? manisha > Manisha Sathe wrote: > > > I want the session to be accessed from different websites, so i got the > > answer in this forum only to make use of customised session with mysql. > > > > I searched the web and came to know that 'session.save_handler' of php.ini > > needs to be as 'user' but instead, on my server it is 'files'.

Thanks in advance Manisha You have to use session_set_save_handler() to register your session handling functions. One thing I would point out is that you need to lock the session storage, in this case one row in a table. As mysql cannot lock a row, only whole table, I would sugest you use GET_LOCK and RELEASE_LOCK mysql functions (with session id as the lock name) to implement session locking. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

As server is a shared server so i may not be able to change it, what can i do to resolve this ? Are both websites on the same machine? If so, you can just use a common session.save_path and pass the session_id when changing servers. If the websites are on different machines, then you'll need to use a database for sessions and ensure the database is accessible by each site. -- ---John Holmes...
