php-xinha.php - xinha_read_passed_data() - loosing session variables

[guest]

I'm using Firefox:

I'm trying to configure Extended File manager (ImageManager) to use a custom image dir.

The implementation is with the drupal HTMLArea module (now uses xinha)

Looking at the code. The $_SESSION variables, and $REQUEST variables are set correctly on the page using xinha, but when opening the tool (EFM) the popup has lost all of the session variables. looking at the function:

if(isset($_REQUEST['backend_data']) && is_array($_REQUEST['backend_data']))
   {
     
     $bk = $_REQUEST['backend_data'];
     
     session_name($bk['session_name']);
     
     @session_start();
     var_dump($_SESSION);
     if(!isset($_SESSION[$bk['key_location']])) {
        ...

The session dump is an empty array. Looking at the cookie info for the pop-up page (where this output is displayed) the session cookie is set, so where are the variables??

There is a problem with this in IE http://classicasp.aspfaq.com/general/how-do-i-manage-a-session-across-multiple-windows.html

But I'm using Firefox. I have a feeling I'm missing something

Are you somehow starting the session too early and thus utilising a different session name? In your code snippet above, remove the error silencer from session_start() and you may see the problem.
