Yes, that one as well. All of the files include session_start() by the
line:

require_once 'init.php';

Here is the example again.

First, go here to set the $_SESSION variable to something:

http://live-answers.com <http://live-answers.com/>

Now, this page shows the headers and $_SESSION variable before curling:

http://live-answers.com/test.php

This page shows the headers and $_SESSION variable after curling:

http://live-answers.com/test1.php

The cookie "myCurlCookie.txt" is created at that point with the following
content:

# Netscape HTTP Cookie File

# http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html

# This file was generated by libcurl! Edit at your own risk.

www.live-answers.com FALSE / FALSE 0 PHPSESSID

Session_start() also has to be called from the second page you're requesting
(test2.php).

Just to ensure the PHP side is correct, if you want PHP to resume a session
from cookies in the request, you need to call session_start() at the
beginning of that script.

Hello all,

I have searched for this to no avail, please help.

I want to use cURL to redirect from one file to another. The redirect works
fine, but I am losing the $_SESSION information. How do I keep that info?

Here is what I am using now (doesn't work). The COOKIEJAR file at
"/tmp/myCurlCookie.txt" is being created, but the $_SESSION info is still
lost:

<?php

// fileurl is http://www.live-answers.com/test1php

// this sets a bunch of $_SESSION cookie info

require_once 'init.php';

// use curl to redirect the url

function useCurl($URL)

{

            $ch = curl_init();

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"$URL");

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "/tmp/myCurlCookie.txt" );

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "/tmp/myCurlCookie.txt");

            curl_exec ($ch);

            curl_close ($ch);

}

// this calls the second test file, where the $_SESSION info is not
available

$URL="http://www.live-answers.com/test2.php";

useCurl($URL);

exit;

?>

Best regards,

Ted
