What are you asking?
How to make a session or how to put it in the link?

[montybug]

cool. this is related to something i'm trying to get workig.

i'd like to know how to create a session for a link i place on another website. for example i want to post a link to a poll and want to either create a new session id for the user or pick up their existing session if they've been to my site before.

makes sense?

thanks

how to put it in the link

put it in the link...

If your using PHP to print the link:
echo "<a href='my.php?session=$sid'>my link</a>";

If your nesting PHP in a predomately HTML page:
<a href='my.php?session=<? echo $sid; ?>'>my link</a>


montybug,
I'm lost...
Are you trying to transfer sessions between domains/sites?
The second half of resuming sessions sounds like you need a cookie.

it's the same site but a different page.

what i'm trying to do is have a link to vote on a poll on my main opening page and i'm having problems assigning a session id to the parms i pass to poll.php.

here's a stripped down version of the code -

<form action="poll.php" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="pollvote">
<input type="hidden" name="pollid" value="1">
<b> does this poll work?</b></font></td>
<input type="radio" name="optionnumber" value="1">
<input type="radio" name="optionnumber" value="2">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Vote">
<p>
<a href="poll.php?action=showresults&pollid=1">View Results</a>
</form>

any idea how to get get a session id for the vote? or is it even needed? i originally had a hidden variable for this but removed it because i had no idea how to set it.

when i click on vote i get the following here - [b]The action you have attempted could not be performed as your session appears to be invalid. Click the below link to attempt this action again with a new session. [b]

thanks

If you just want to put the s=sgd0943t0gfds into the form just use a hidden input.

<form action="poll.php" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="<?=$sid?>">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="pollvote">
<input type="hidden" name="pollid" value="1">
<b> does this poll work?</b></font></td>
<input type="radio" name="optionnumber" value="1">
<input type="radio" name="optionnumber" value="2">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Vote">
<p>
<a href="poll.php?action=showresults&pollid=1">View Results</a>
</form>

thanks for the help. i tried it and VB still had a problem with the session id. here's the URL it generated -

mydomain.com/testforum/poll.php?s=%3C%3F%3D%24sid%3F%3E&action=pollvote&pollid=1&optionnumber=2&Submit=Vote

notice all the % stuff. i'm assuming the id maybe correct but has been converted to use hex or something similar for some strange reason.

i can also see an 's=' as well as a 'sid' in the string.

oh! and here's the error message again -

The action you have attempted could not be performed as your session appears to be invalid. Click the below link to attempt this action again with a new session.

does this form have to be in a php file or can i just insert it into a std html file? i've tried both, when i rename my html document to php the sid is left blank and all i see is "s=".

any thoughts?

this thing is driving me crazy

thanks again

chris
