Hi,
I figured it out, and wanted to post a response in case anybody else has
this problem.
In the form that submits to the popup window, I passed through the session
id.
EG: Create a hidden field in my form with the session ID
<input type='hidden' name='PHPSESSID' value='<?= PHPSESSID ?>' ?>
When returning from the popup back to the original URL I set the PHPSESSID
back to the above.
It will re-enstate the sessions from that ID.
It works perfectly.
