Ok so - I have a dilemma - I need to carry across my session values throughout subdomains. I also need it so when I destroy a session it destroys all the sessions amongst my subdomains.

Just to clarify if I set $_SESSION['name'] = 'George'; on domain.com I want to be able to access $_SESSION['name']; on name.domain.com

I search Google and several people had things they claimed worked but from what i've tried nothing seems to work.

	session_id();
	session_set_cookie_params(3600);
	session_start();

That was one method someone suggested but it didn't work - anyone have any insight?

Try this in your .htaccess if you haven't already:

php_value session.cookie_domain .domain.tld

I could be wrong but im sure there is a reason why this cant be done achually :S

Do I change domain.tld to my domain? And do I put this in the .htaccess in all my subdomains and my top-level?

[EDIT] That line caused a 500 error (Internal Server Error)

ok, repost, (forget the above) looked into the function you mentioned above, never used it before but try:

session_set_cookie_params(3600, '/', '.domain.com');

unsure what a time parameter is doing with sessions but meh. (call it before session_start())

Yeah I did try that before. But no matter - I figured out how to do it I just had to scour the PHP Manual for that function PHP.net doesn't want you to find because it helps people take over the world. (not really)

ini_set("session.cookie_domain", '.firewhiskey.net');

Aren't those the same thing?

Just one looks like it's formated to go in the PHP.INI and the other in .htaccess

[Matthew.]

They are yes and if i had given the correct line to go in htaccess in the first place it would have worked.

By correct value, you mean "php_flags" right? Either way, some host's don't allow you to modify the php.ini file via htaccess, so it could have still thrown a 500 error.
