Session login issue

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

I'm wondering how to fix a problem I'm having with a session-based login system

Say I go to http://www.website.com
The page that processes the login then returns the now-logged-in user to http://www.website.com
If this person goes to website.com, though, the login page returns them to www.website.com and it seems to be a different session which makes it appear as though they haven't logged in. Then they login twice.

"Well just have the login page return the user to the URL that they came from"
My problem there is that I have other pages on my site which will direct a user back to http://www.website.com -such as my Error 403 page. After a certain period of time, it sends the user to http://www.website.com. If this is a logged-in user who logged in under website.com, it will appear as though they were logged out

Any suggestions?
