PHP - Session Handler For Multiple Domains/subdomains

Am currently trying to develop a SaaS, where each user gets their own subdomain with their application. Am wondering, though, with installation and subsequent updates: What is the best way to initiate an installation? The project is currently in a git repository. Is it better to simply pull the master branch per installation; or is zipping up the master branch, copying it to the new subdomain, then running the installation a better (secure?) method? What is the best way to initiate an update of code? If using the git repo, hat would deal with updated code, but not updated MySQL tables. Should the user be allowed to choose to update (so much like W$, a popup shows up that says there's an update; user can choose to update or ignore); or should all updates be forced (such as at a certain time)? I haven't seen much online with my searches, but I may be blind at this point. Any thoughts/comments appreciated!  

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 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

Hello everyone, I'm sitting here in a position where I can't work on my site or test any code, but my mind is racing about what I can do to solve a particular problem that I have.  I won't get into the problem because it would take more time to type than I have right now, but I have an idea for a simple solution, just not sure if it will work or not.  So, here's my question: Is it possible to have multiple session variables during a session?

Such as:
$email=$_SESSION['email'];
$user=$_SESSION['userid'];

If this is possible, my problem is solved (I think)... otherwise, I have to keep thinking about it.  Thanks for any help!

I'm not sure how to approach this but here is my problem.

I'm using a sql statement that counts the number of users in the database. I've created a session variable named $MerchantCount and then I need to multiple that number by this scheme

0-9  Needs to multiple by 2.5
10-19 Needs to multiple by 5.0
20 and up needs to multiple by 7.5

How would I do this? Thanks...

I know PHP setcookie can set for all subdomains - by setting parameter 5 to something like ".domain.com".

However, I have quite a lot of code that just leaves param 5 blank (so sets for the current subdomain of that server).

Hopefully there'd be an easy way how to do this (a server setting?).

I know you can use ini_set('session.cookie_domain','http://domain.com'); but that only seems to set the session cookie value, not ones set in PHP.

I only really want it to ensure if someone accesses the site through both www.domain.com and domain.com that they use the same cookies.

Is there a way to dynamically create subdomains like so: http://sub.example.com ?

I can do it in cPanel, but I'm not sure how I would go about doing it in PHP. I know how to create http://example.com/sub, but that isn't what I want. I don't think it would work the same as http://sub.example.com..

I have the following session variables for each item in a cart, which gets updated each time an item is added from the catalog
// Register the session variables
$_SESSION['ses_basket_items']=$ses_basket_items;
$_SESSION['ses_basket_name']=$ses_basket_name;
$_SESSION['ses_basket_amount']=$ses_basket_amount;
$_SESSION['ses_basket_price']=$ses_basket_price;
$_SESSION['ses_basket_stockcode']=$ses_basket_stockcode;
$_SESSION['ses_basket_image']=$ses_basket_image;
$_SESSION['ses_basket_size']=$ses_basket_size;
$_SESSION['ses_basket_sizechoice']=$ses_basket_sizechoice;
$_SESSION['ses_basket_id']=$ses_basket_id;

I have a current cart page which loops through the sessions and displays them in a form.

I have a check box for each item with the name="remove[]" and the value is the itemID which is the $ses_basket_id of item in the session.

I have a select box with name="size[]" and the value is the users selected size for each item in the session which is $ses_basket_size

Finnally I have a quantity text box with name="quantity[]" and the value is the users quantity value selected which is $ses_basket_amount.

After all the looping through the products displaying each item in a row I have an update cart submit button name="change" outside the loop.

What I want to know is how do I setup to perform each of these actions for each item in the session, how do I create the foreach loops for each array to delete or modify the correct items in the session if they are modified.

I have the code to perform each task but dont know how to loop it through for each item in the session affecting only the correct session items.

so if I have 3 items in the session for example, and I want to change the size of item 1, remove item 2 and change item 3 for quantity 1 to quantity 3 with only the 1 form and change button for all items and actions?

Hope that makes sense any help with this would be appreciated.

I have 2 subdomains - one for the main site app and one for administration app. Both of these need to work with the same directory - one to upload images and one to read them.

So far I have it like this - the main domain is mounted to www_root. In www_root I created a folder for the admin application. The images folder is also directly in www_root.

The problem is, I can't upload files through http.

So how else can I access a directory that is above the root directory of the current app ?
Or should I rather move the images dir to the admin directory ?

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?

Hey 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.
