Session data could not be read from another window : <p>On a test1.php I have this:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?php
    echo "Session variables are about to be set.";
    // Set session variables
    $_SESSION["animal"] = "cat";
    echo "Session variables are set.";
    echo "Favorite animal is " . $_SESSION["animal"] . ".";
?&gt;

&lt;div ms_positioning="text2D" class="style7"&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:winOpen();" test2.php=""&gt;Contact Information&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;script&gt;
function winOpen() {

    window.open("/test2.php",null,"scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=600,height=300,top=100,left=100");

}
&lt;/script&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>In test2.php, I have this:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?php
    // Echo session variables that were set on previous page
    echo "Favorite animal is " . $_SESSION["animal"] . ".";
?&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>But data is not showing up on test2.php.  It did echo back on test1.php.</p>

<p>any suggestions?</p>
