    Hi,

    I really need some help here.

    I have a shopping cart where all cart contents are stored in a session
    array. At the checkout stage, a new window is opened on a secure URL for
    entering credit card details. This is a new window (JavaScript popup)
    because the payment section is actually part of the bank. They have a
    payment gateway. I am able to pass variables to this which will be returned.

    Problem is on return (successful transaction etc) I cannot access the
    session variables in the parent browser window.

    Can I some how force the popup window (with some PHP code in the return
    page) to pickup that session so I can access the session variables from the
    parent window and update them based on my transaction result?

    I can and have the ability to pass the session id into the popup which will
    be returned when the transaction is completed via the banks automated
    system.

    If somebody can help me out in this area, I would really appreciate it.

    C.
