Send sessions to default browser

ExeOutput for PHP
1

Having some issue with project and before I dig in deeper:

Can sessions from an exeout .exe file be passed to default browser?

Something like this on page in exe:

session_start();
// Set session variable
$_SESSION["math_key"] = $math_key;

and then read in browser like:

session_start();
$math_key = $_SESSION["math_key"];

Before spending hours debugging, want to make sure even feasible first.

I know there are ways like below (url), am I on right track or is this not possible?

$sessionValue = $_SESSION['math_key'];
$url = "https://example.com/next_page.php?session_value=" . urlencode($sessionValue);

Or are there any other ideas for something similar?

Nope, not going to work. WebRTC might work but does not seem like worth the effort.

4

No, that’s not possible, unfortunately.

5

Thanks for confirming. Was pretty sure not possible but had hopes someone else might had need to pass a session. One way I am experimenting with is via POST.

Sure, you can pass the session variables to a server using the internal viewer with POST and an AJAX request for instance.

7

Yes, but not always reliable :slight_smile: I deal with a “locked down” world and post with especially ajax raises flags like a new navy.

Just a thought - Put variables into json, encrypt to something url safe, then
exec (“start $url?data=$encrypted”);
maybe ?

Not a bad idea! Have to think about this and flow of code. You have any ideas on the actual code?

@oldteacher It would take me a while to work out fully, and pretty busy atm but these would most likely be the functions you would use.

Start with the array.

json_encode - https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode
openssl_encrypt - https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.openssl-encrypt.php
urlencode - https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php

Then at other end…

urldecode - https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.urldecode.php
openssl_decrypt - https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.openssl-decrypt.php
json_decode - https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php

Then you should be back at the original array.
