pass the user id to the page as a url variable.  maybe set a unique cookie
name for that value that won't get destroyed when the person logs out.

Subject: [PHP] Session problems with popup window


> I can't seem to find an elegant solution to this and was hoping you guys
could
> offer some insight.
>
> We are using sessions on our webpage and one of the links on our main
page,
> launches a separate popup window which has some PHP on it and contains
some
> java applets which launch our web-based trading application.  The thing is
> that part of this page requires that we have the user ID for a database
lookup
> which is part of the user's session data.  Basically, it lets the user
refresh
> a directory to see if a file is there and available for download.  If the
user
> logs out in the main window, we lose this session data and the user ID and
the
> page chokes because it cannot find the user directory because we've lost
the
> user ID.
>
> Does anyone have any ideas how we can get around this?  Thanks in advance
for
> any replies -- this mailing list has been a huge help for us.
