Need help on Session Management in Orkut app

[krishna chaitanya]

Hi All

I am new to Web App Devlopement. Need Help on following requirement.


I am calling a PHP page from orkut application. The php page is
creating a new session for every page request. Suppose If I save some
info in php session when first page is called I am not able to access
it
when I called it for the second time. So I am forced to send the
user_id and user_name to every php again and again.


Is there any workaround for this? How can we retain the session on
server side.


I have multiple tabs in the app. Every tab will have an iframe which
will have src as a differnt ph page link. So whenever tab is switched
a new php call is made and that call is creating a new session.


I am very sorry if this is a very silly question. But I spent a lot of
time on this.

Please see my reply to your post here:

Until the REST-based API is available, you shouldn't structure your
application this way. You should implement all of your logic in
JavaScript and, if you need information from a database, etc., send a
signed request from the client, which you can verify on your back-end
to determine the identity of the user. The current OpenSocial API is
entirely client-side and it's very difficult to shoehorn into the
server-side programming model that you're trying to use. If you have
any specific questions on how you should structure your application,
at least until the REST-based API is available, please feel free to
ask.

In the meantime, the OpenSocial tutorial might be helpful, if you
haven't seen it already:
