Sessions and uploadify

Question

I'm using uploadify, and i can't set sessions in my php files, my script looks like this: ``` $("#uploadify").uploadify({ 'uploader' : '/extra/flash/uploadify.swf', 'script' : '/admin/uploads/artistsphotos', 'scriptData' : {'PHPSESSID' : '<?= session_id(); ?>'}, 'cancelImg' : '/images/cancel.png', 'folder' : '/img/artists', 'queueID' : 'fileQueue', 'auto' : false, 'multi' : true, 'onComplete' : function(a, b, c, d, e){ }, 'onAllComplete': function(event,data){ $bla = $('#art').find(':selected',this); $fi = $bla.val(); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "/admin/uploads/artistsphotosupload", data: "artist="+$fi, success: function(msg){ console.log(msg); } }); } }); ``` And in php if i try: ``` $_SESSION['name'] = 'something'; ``` I can't access it in another file.and i have session_start(); activated Any solutions?

Accepted Answer

Usually the session ID won't be read from POST. You could do this:

```
$_COOKIE['PHPSESSID'] = $_POST['PHPSESSID'];
session_start();
```
