problem with sessionID

Posted on 2005-05-21 17:27:04-07 by alexperl

HI, Im having problem with CGI::Session. I need to assign same session id to user who adds items to shopping cart. But it creates different ids everytime Im adding item. Im using IIS server, and I dont see any cookies or session data which should be stored on my computer.It only prints cookie in browser. I tried different methods nothing works. Here is script, as described in tutorial:

use CGI; $cgi = new CGI; $session = new CGI::Session(undef, $cgi, {Directory=>'/tmp'}); $cookie = $cgi->cookie(CGISESSID => $session->id ); print $cgi->header(-cookie=>$cookie); $sid=$session->id();

Anybody can give any solution?

Re: problem with sessionID

First use the 'FreezeThaw' serializer. Change the first 'undef' in new to "Serializer:FreezeThaw. Use 'flush' function to write to data... (I'm still looking for better solution) Les Richarson

Re: problem with sessionID

Hi, Im also having a similar problem with CGI::Session. But this is when opening different IE windows to add an item, for every window a session is created with unique sessionID. How to have a single sessionID for each User. Thanks

Re: problem with sessionID

same problem i faced under mod_perl2(registry script without +GlobalRequest) + mysql driver.. after some time i solve my troubles.. here is "principal" truncated example:

$q = new CGI($r); .... $session = new CGI::Session("driver:mysql", $self->get_session_id() || $q, {Handle=>$dbh}); .... $session->flush; .... $dbh->disconnect; .... sub get_session_id { my $self = shift; my %cookie = CGI::Cookie->fetch($self->{r}); if ($cookie{CGISESSID}) {return $cookie{CGISESSID}->value;} return undef; }
