I heard the best method to share session across multiple domains on same server is to use custom php session handler. (ie, domain name different like abc.com, xyz.com but single application.)
But after i tried it, even custom php session handler that using SAME DATABASE ON 1 SERVER can't share session, when i tried to read cookie value from different domain.
Here's my custom session handler, Please kindly check or fix if something missing here. because i've tried it for a week now. can't get it to work
P.S. To get previous session id, i use link such as: newdomain.com/?ssid=[SESSION_ID]
