I'm using sessions on my page and i've just noticed that when i use JavaScript to open a new window, the session doesn't pass through. Does anyone know how I can pass the session to a new page??

it may be a problem of when and how you are asking the javascript window to open..

I have the open window in a function and then i call it :

Code: Select all

<a href="javascript:open()">
And this is the way i've done it before and it worked... But now it isn't :?

Its the same page... I open the same page in another window, but displaying different information... And the sessions work fine on the normal page.

Could there be a setting in php.ini that would control this??

what are your session cookie settings, the url of the "normal" page, and popup page used?
