Sessions/cookies

Hi there,
I have had a problem with the sessions/cookies in php-fusion for a while now.
If you log in to www.mysite.com and then click on a link redirecting you to mysite.com (without www), you are logged out again. I spoke with my host about this, and they said that it is a bug/mistake in the system I use (php-fusion 7). And then I realised that the problem may have been there all the time :(
Can I fix this by changing the cookies in maincore.php and setuser.php?
If I can't, I know there is a method to solve the problem by forcing the www-prefix on the address no matter what you write. But how do I do this? :) Thanks.

This is not a bug, rather the cookies that are set with www. do not work without www. and vise versa. This is the case with many hosts, including Netriox, the hosting service that this website is hosted by.

Ninos > And how many CMS's do you know? I would call it a bug/error, yes.
Josso > Thanks :) Should I just put this file in the root-folder (of php-fusion)? And what if I want to redirect to www.mysite.com instead of just mysite.com? It's a matter of taste :)

Make a .htaccess file with this contents:
And every time you go to www.mysite.com it'll redirect you to mysite.com :)
That should solve your problem. ;)
Code Download source
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,NC,L]And every time you go to www.mysite.com it'll redirect you to mysite.com :)
That should solve your problem. ;)

I know this isn't useful and hardly what you need to hear, but I can't think of any CMS's in which the cookie works for both www. and without.
No, it isn't a bug either.
