PHP - Php Sessions Across External Domains???
Hello Everyone!
I'm new to the forum and new to PHP. I'm curious about the limitations of PHP. I'm working a project that I'm not even sure is possible in PHP. The project is simple: I need a page that can track business reviews on external sites and report that activity to a database. Below is a simple mockup of the html. Code: [Select] <html> <head> <title>Boomerang Project</title> </head> <body> <h1>Like Our Work?</h1> <h2>Help Spread The Word.</h2> <p>Click on the links below to start writing a review about the service that we have provided you.</p> <h3>Complete 5 reviews recieve a gift certificate.</h3> <ul> <li><a href="" target="_blank">Yahoo</a></a></li> <li><a href="" target="_blank">Google</a></li> <li><a href="" target="_blank">Yelp</a></li> <li><a href="" target="_blank">Manta</a></li> <p>You have completed <!--Number-of-Reviews-Completed-->. <br /> <br /> <!--The form below doesn't appear until at least 5 reviews are confirmed to have been posted. At which point a script will reconfirm the postings and send 2 emails, one to business with client info and another email to client confirming the completion of the postings.--> <form> <fieldset> <label for="name">Name</label><input type="text" name="full-name" /><br /> <label for="address">Address</label><input type="text" name="address" /><br /> <label for="city">City</label><input type="text" name="city" /><br /> <label for="state">State</label><input type="text" name="state" /><br /> <label for="zipcode">Zip Code</label><input type="text" name="zipcode" /><br /> <label for="telephone">Telephone</label><input type="text" name="telephone" /><br /> <label for="email">Email</label><input type="text" name="emaile" /><br /> <input type="submit" /> </fieldset> </form> </body> </html> Similar TutorialsHey All, What I am trying to do is link a whole bunch of our sites together to be seamless when users are on them, even though they are actually on different servers. For example, we have portal.ourdomain.com which runs our billing software, www.ourdomain.com which is our regular website, cp.ourdomain.com which is our control panel and mail.ourdomain.com which is our webmail login. We have a common header, which needs the session variables and such from the portal site. So we created a separate header file (on the portal site) that could be used by the other sites to read in. Now the separate file works by going to it directly portal.ourdomain.com/commonheader.php, however when included on the external pages, it doesn't get the number of items in the cart or the logged in state. I assume that this probably has to do with the sessions, but my question is, is there a way to process the file before it is included. I was hoping that it could read the file output, rather than generate it within the external site. Let me know if any one of you know of any ways to do what I am trying. If I am confusing you, just let me know what needs clarification. Thanks. hi guys i need a script i can use on a website that redirect all domains to a specific URL+domain
so here is the goal to achieve:
i want to redirect DOMAIN1.com DOMAIN2.org DOMAIN3.com .... to my main domain MyredirectDomainurl.com and on MyredirectDomainurl.com i need to run a script that will FORWARD DOMAIN1.com ===> https://www.afternic.com/domain/DOMAIN1.COM DOMAIN2.ORG ===> https://www.afternic.com/domain/DOMAIN2.ORG DOMAIN3.com ===> https://www.afternic.com/domain/DOMAIN3.com
thanks for your help Hal
Edited January 1 by kahymo typo This could be a silly question and it may not be very relevant here, forgive me if that is the case. When you have a domain like http://example.com and you then have a sub domain like http://something.example.com how is that achieved? Is it to do with the way the site is coded or structured? Hello all, it's been a while! Good to be back. I am having trouble with a script I'm trying to modify to seach for domains with specific extensions. Now, I have never done any domain checking before and I'm a little bewildered. The script uses an array and checks the input against each extension using the array. Each line looks similar to: Code: [Select] '.com' => array('whois.crsnic.net','No match for'), What does the whois.crsnic.net mean? I assume it's a register/database of domains? how would i go about doing this? lets say i want to use different domains i.e.: mysite.com mycoolsite.com but i want them to both use the same php script i.e.: myscript.com/site.php?domain=mysite.com each site will show different content depending on the domain $_GET variable... can anyone help me with this? Hello
I'm new in PHP but I need a help If it possible.
I want to Know which domain used my php script .
For example when some one run installer or run index.php an email send to me that contain the domain name.
Or some thing like this that I used for any php code.
so thanks
I recently installed a SSL certificate for one of my domains, on a hosting account that includes several other domains. To redirect visitors to the SSL version of the website (because the SSL certificate only works for the www. version of the site) I use the following code in my .htaccess file:
#First rewrite any request to the wrong domain to use the correct one (here www.) First of all, does anyone know of some good documentation to better understand cookies? I've gone through the PHP manual, and can find how to use PHP to work with cookies, but not how cookies really work.
In particular, it is my understanding that if the domain is .mydomain.com, then mydomain.com, www.mydomain.com, or whatEver.mydomain.com, cookies could be set for each, and available for each, right?
If path was /, cookies will be sent for mydomain.com, mydomain.com/bla, and mydomain.com/bla/bla. If path was /bla, cookies will be not be sent for mydomain.com, but will be sent for mydomain.com and mydomain.com/bla/bla.
Also, what would be the impact if Apache rewrote bla.mydomain.com to mydomain.com/bla?
Please feel free to provide any other insight on this topic.
Thank you
I have recently changed server and setting things up are a right pain, after 2 days im need of some help. I have my site split into sub domains so lets say; www.domain.com one.domain.com two.domain.com three.domain.com They are to separate parts of my site which used to make it easier the manage each part, so one sub domain handles accounts and logins etc.. whilst another handles products and so on. the problem im having is all my login scripts and are on say 'one.domain.com', i can log in fine but when i visit any other domain im logged out, i can't seem to sort it out. i have tried setting my session cookie path and session cookie domain by painstakingly adding Code: [Select] ini_set('session.save_path', '/var/www/vhosts/website.co.uk/httpdocs/tmp'); ini_set('session.cookie_domain', '.website.co.uk'); to every page, but it makes no difference, im also getting the occasional error Code: [Select] Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp/sess_d387ha6eqvj53f135q0fh4d733, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied I have contacted my server provider by after endless messages they are no longer helping but rather keep saying 'leave it with us' then 'we fixed it' although they didnt. It doesn't help im so limited in what i have access to, i cant access the php.ini so everything has to be done via php So i would really appreciate any help getting this session problem sorted out. Thank you. hey all, i've got no experience with php or apache coding but would really appreciate some help. basically, all i want to do is add a parked domain so that website2.com redirects to website1.com when i try to do this with cPanel i get the following message (Apache detected an error in the Rewrite config. Syntax error on line 5 of /public_html/.htaccess.Ei15veHhUrcxOtEJvtu0jaH_2_TPSZ8u: RewriteRule: bad flag delimiters Please try again.) i opened .htaccess but have no idea what to change in it to fix this issue all that is .htaccess contain is the following RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L] RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php any help would be really appreciated. thanks. Good Day, I'm using the following example script from http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php which I have placed in session-handler.php and is included at the top of my index.php file. I have multiple domain names for the same website, so naturally when a person logs into the site, I would like the session to be active across all the domains instead of them having to login again if say they go from mysite.com to mysite2.com. session-handler.php <?php function open($save_path, $session_name) { global $sess_save_path; $sess_save_path = $save_path; return(true); } function close() { return(true); } function read($id) { global $sess_save_path; $sess_file = "$sess_save_path/sess_$id"; return (string) @file_get_contents($sess_file); } function write($id, $sess_data) { global $sess_save_path; $sess_file = "$sess_save_path/sess_$id"; if ($fp = @fopen($sess_file, "w")) { $return = fwrite($fp, $sess_data); fclose($fp); return $return; } else { return(false); } } function destroy($id) { global $sess_save_path; $sess_file = "$sess_save_path/sess_$id"; return(@unlink($sess_file)); } function gc($maxlifetime) { global $sess_save_path; foreach (glob("$sess_save_path/sess_*") as $filename) { if (filemtime($filename) + $maxlifetime < time()) { @unlink($filename); } } return true; } session_set_save_handler("open", "close", "read", "write", "destroy", "gc"); session_start(); ?> The script above doesn't appear to be throwing any errors, and I can login like normal but it doesn't seem to be saving the sessions at all. So I still have to login to each separate domain. Any ideas? Thanks, Ace Suppose I have two versions of the same website; one American and one Canadian. This site has members with profiles etc. The way my site is written, I think that if someone were to login to their account on, say, the American site, then a session variable would indicate that a user is logged in on the client machine. Now if they visit the "profile" page, for example, or some other members-only page ON THE CANADIAN SITE, and start manipulating data etc., then this would affect the databases for the Canadian site, and everything would get screwed up (actually, I think mysql would just start spitting out errors, but that's not good either). Does anyone have some simple way to deal this this kind of thing? I don't really know exactly how session variables work. Say I have two domains, somepage.com and somepage.ca on the same server/DNS. If a page on somepage.com sets a session variable called $_SESSION['somevar'], and a page on somepage.ca also sets a variable called $_SESSION['somevar'], are the two variables somehow distinct because they are on different domains? Like, if somepage.com sets the variable, then somepage.ca check if the variable is set, what will happen? What if I wanted to set up the two pages in subfolders, like somepage.com/us and somepage.com/ca, how would I deal with distinguish session variables for the two sites? Is one approach (i.e. distinct domains vs subfolders) better than the other? Thanks, I'm looking for a secure way to share session data across two different domains (not subdomains) on the same server. I've looked at passing the session id through a GET var to the other domain. It works but it looks to open the possibility of session hijacking and I don't really like having the session id in the URL string. Any way to make this secure? The other option I'm looking at is using cURL to load a script on the other domain that sets a cookie with the session id. When the person loads the other domain, check for the cookie, get the session id, connect to session then delete the cookie. Can anyone see anything wrong with this? Thanks. Hi, I have been looking at this code for hours and I can't figure out why the product name and quantity aren't transferring from treats.php to checkOut.php. I realize checkOut.php is extremely long but if I could get some help I would really appreciate it. In case you would want the link, it 's http://auntievics.com/treats.php So I am trying to set my session length, but it doesn't seem to be working. session_set_cookie_params("84600"); session_start(); I am in the process of opening my web site to the general public. Right now you have to have a username and password to see anything on the site. What I am looking to do is make it so anyone can see most things on the site. There will still be user accounts for things like admins and submitting ideas. What i have now is some links that look at the user rank and only show up if you are higher then a rank. What I need to do is make it so you don't need to log in to see the site but you still need to log in to edit things. Here is my sessions scrip Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); if(!$_SESSION['login']){ $_SESSION['rank']; $_SESSION['loggedinusername'] = $loggedinusername; $_SESSION['loggedinuseremail'] = $loggedinuseremail; header("location:login.php"); } $rank=$_SESSION['rank']; $loggedinusername=$_SESSION['loggedinusername']; $loggedinuseremail=$_SESSION['loggedinuseremail']; ?> How do I edit this so you are free to move around the site even if your not logged in? Thanks When using sessions, must there be a session_start() in each page for the browser to be considered part of the session? Can a user browse to a page without session_start() and still have that part of the original session that he/she began with?? hi im new to php i am making shopping cart i made a session variable to add products in cart when i run it gives this warning Notice: Undefined index: cart in C:\wamp\www\cart\public\views\layouts\shop.php on line 15 Notice: Undefined index: total_items in C:\wamp\www\cart\public\views\layouts\shop.php on line 16 Notice: Undefined index: total_price in C:\wamp\www\cart\public\views\layouts\shop.php on line 17 but when i click on add to cart it add product price and quanitity kindly help me my shop.php code is <head> <title> Shopping Cart</title> <link href="stylesheets/cool_style.css" media="screen" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <h1> products</h1> <div class="cart"> <p><b> Shopping Cart</b></p> print_r($_SESSION['cart']); echo $_SESSION['total_items']; echo number_format($_SESSION['total_price'],2); </div> <hr /> </body> </html> and my index file is where i set session variables are include('db_fns.php'); include("cart_functions.php"); session_start(); if(isset($_SEESION['cart'])) // if change this conditon if(!isset($_SEESION['cart'])) it gives not warning but does not //add products to the cart it does not do anything { $_SESSION['cart']=array(); $_SESSION['total_items']=0; $_SESSION['total_price']=0.00; } $view=empty($_GET['view'])?'index':$_GET['view']; $controller='shop'; switch ($view){ case "index"; $products = find_product(); break; case "add_to_cart"; $id=$_GET['id']; $add_item=add_to_cart($id); $_SESSION['total_items']=total_items($_SESSION['cart']); $_SESSION['total_price']=total_price($_SESSION['cart']); header('Location: index.php'); break; case "update_cart"; break; case "checkout"; break; } if change this conditon if(!isset($_SEESION['cart'])) it gives not warning file run correctly with no warning but does not add products to the cart and does not do anything kindly help me please I am new to SESSIONS and have a quick question about them. I want to use sesssions on my site but was wondering if they would work for the follow senario. Say a customer visits my url: http://www.mysite.com/?id=2 Now what i am doing is taking the id out of the URL using sessions and redirecting the user to http://www.mysite.com while my session ($_SESSION['id']) holds the value 2 in it. I have this working great, i believe it just looks better. Now if my customer decides to buy my product via paypal and is directed off my site while he/she is paying for said item on paypal when they return could i still use some of the information that i stored in my session?? I know i could use post and get to pass through paypal but unfortunately i have to use sessions for what i am trying to do. I have a simple php script that starts sessions. On every page, I include : if(isset($_SESSION['sessionname'])){ //The rest of the page } else { die("Not logged in"); } I always include the session start and always regenerate the session id after <?php. The code works fine withevery browser except for a certain version of Internet Explorer 8. Even though the browser does enable cookies, it doesn`t seem to allow the ones in my script. In fact, every time I change page, it ives the error message "Not logged in". I have tried it on two different compters with the exact same version of IE and the result was the same. Thank you for your time! |
