Hi all,
We have about 10 different domains that are linked very closely and we
want to identify and keep track of every single user that surfs our
websites by the use of sessions.
The problem is how to keep track of the session ID across domains.
- cookies don't work because not acepted by 40 % of or users and
cookies don't work across domains
- passing of the PHPSESSID over a from is molesting because all links
have to be forms
- automatic passing in links by the use of trans_id doesn't work. all
links have to be relative. this is not possibe when the link is on
another domain
- manual passing of the PHPSESSID would work but is a pain in the butt
since all of the links have to be altered manually in thousands of php
files.
Or domains are located on the same instance of the apache server and
the 4th method would work well.
Maybe a trick would work out well.
I have been trying to include a php logger file (located in the main
domain directory) in the footer of all of our sites where the session
is started and data is logged.
The result were different Session IDs even for websites on the same
domain....
Maybe also a manual session.save_handler (in php.ini) would help.
The things are quite a bit complicated and I would apreciate your help
very much.
