Subdomain session tracking

[darren_chambers]

Hi,

 

I have WHMCS installed on a shared hosting server, the client area is under under a subdomain like this:

 

members.mysite.co.uk

 

I have created some custom pages under:

mysite.co.uk

 

Everything works as it should except I would like to track login sessions across between the main domain & the subdoman.

 

The most sensible item I saw suggested setting the following in the php.ini:

session.cookie_domain = .mysite.co.uk

 

Sadly this is not an option as I have no control over php.ini in this case.

 

I am sorry to ask because this seems to be a much talked about topic & even though I have tried most of the suggestions talked about on these forums I am still unable to make this work.

 

Hopefully somebody will know how to achieve this.

 

Many thanks,

Darren

You can override the default PHP settings with .htaccess or the php ini_set function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php

 

If you are using CPanel you can also create a custom "php.ini" file in your public_html directory.

Hi Jeremy,

 

You solved my problem - thank you very much.

 

For anyone else with a similar issue, I added the following to the .htaccess file under public_html

 

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
 php_value session.cookie_domain .mydomain.co.uk
</IfModule>

 

Cheers,

Darren
