I'm not too familiar with XMLHttpRequest, although your req.write works and displays the correct sid, so the cookie must be reaching the page. And once you have the sid, your good to go, because when using sessions, data is stored on the server, and the cookie just holds the sid. you can read your /tmp/mp_sess* files and watch new session ids being created. > I'm working on trying to figure more out... > __ > Donnie > ~= Chris =~ > On Sun, 27 Feb 2005 21:29:57 -0500, Chris Jackson > <christopher.jackson at gmail.com> wrote: > > Can you paste the line of code where you call UseSession, passing it the sid. > > > > ~= Chris =~ > > > > On Sun, 27 Feb 2005 14:43:38 -0500, donnie jones > > <donniejones18 at gmail.com> wrote: > > > The javascript uses XMLHttpRequest and from the responseText is > > > able to get the SID and pass it to the UseSession function. > > > > > > I write out the session id in the UseSession function to make sure > > > that the same session id is being passed, and it works. > > > However, when I pass that same session id to the Session(req, sid) > > > it creates another session... > > > > > > __ > > > Donnie > > > > > > On Sun, 27 Feb 2005 13:47:31 -0500, Chris Jackson > > > <christopher.jackson at gmail.com> wrote: > > > > To add to this: > > > > > > > > When UseSession, for example, is called, the parameters (req, sessid) > > > > get populated via the publisher handler with the values from the > > > > <form>.
