Re: Issue with threading?

You can't easily share the Session values, what I'd do is store the info in
a database that all 3 can access.

If you need to access it in another page then store it in the Session,
then remove from the Session once it has been used.

So...it sounds like the issue is that when a person logs into our system,
we're saving their info as a cookie. Instead of saving the info to a
cookie, we should save it to a session? That makes sense.

Now, a new catch: the reason we were saving it as a cookie is that our CMS
is actually 3 separate applications. Yes, less than ideal for many
reasons, and something we hope to resolve down the road. In the interim,
is there any way to share session info between the 3 apps or is that just
plain impossible given that they are three separate apps?
