Sessions and sub-domains

If I have 1 domain name and intend to build many sub-domains for different tools,etc, then will i have problems with session. Like if somebody will log-in to softgroups.com he will also be logged in on icredit.softgroups.com ?

 

hi there,

PHP has good support for this sort of things, you won't have issues. You can actually set the session path in your php script.. here's some examples...

ini_set('session.cookie_domain', '.example.com')

PHP:

Note the '.' before the domain - that will set the cookie for example.com and all its subdomains.

ini_set('session.cookie_domain', 'example.com')

PHP:

If you use this one, then no subdomains supported under that session.

ini_set('session.cookie_domain', 'test.example.com')

PHP:

Use this one and only the test.example subdomain will be supporting your current session.

good luck

 

Uhhh thanks a lot

i can only use it for domain/sub-domains that are hosted on that server
right?!

 

why not just name your sessions different things? or are you intending to use pre made scripts?

 

You are correct, I'm afraid
