Yes, session_start() is called within init.php.

Just to ensure the PHP side is correct, if you want PHP to resume a session
from cookies in the request, you need to call session_start() at the
beginning of that script.

Hello all,

 

I have searched for this to no avail, please help.

 

I want to use cURL to redirect from one file to another. The redirect works
fine, but I am losing the $_SESSION information. How do I keep that info?

 

Here is what I am using now (doesn't work). The COOKIEJAR file at
"/tmp/myCurlCookie.txt" is being created, but the $_SESSION info is still
lost:

 

<?php

// fileurl is http://www.live-answers.com/test1php

 

// this sets a bunch of $_SESSION cookie info

require_once 'init.php';

 

// use curl to redirect the url

function useCurl($URL)

{

            $ch = curl_init();

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"$URL");

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "/tmp/myCurlCookie.txt" );

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "/tmp/myCurlCookie.txt");

            curl_exec ($ch);

            curl_close ($ch);

}

 

// this calls the second test file, where the $_SESSION info is not
available

$URL="http://www.live-answers.com/test2.php";

useCurl($URL);

exit;

 

?>

 

Best regards,

 

Ted
