Pass php session id with http post

Question

I am using this command to post parameters to my server :

response = CustomHttpClient.executeHttpPost("http://192.168.1.102/liu/login.php", postParameters);

When I get a successful log in from the server, my Android application is set to request the members.php page in webview, but when this happens I am redirected to the log in page to log in again, this means that the session has been dropped somewhere, so how do I maintain the session between the two requests ?

Here is the code on server side login.php:

 if($numrow!=0)
{
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
    {
        $db_username = $row['username'];
        $db_password = $row['password'];
    }

    if($username==$db_username&&$password==$db_password)
    {

        $_SESSION['username']=$db_username;
        header("Location: members.php");
        members area</a>";


    }

and members.php:

if($_SESSION['username'])
 {
echo "1";
echo "the logged in session is :". $_SESSION['username'];
echo " You are logged in as: ".$_SESSION['username'];

echo "<p><a href='logout.php'>Click here to logout</a>";
  }

Now this code works when I log in from my pc browser but when I send the info from the Android application and get successful reply then request the members.php page it takes me back to the log in.

Session parameters reside on the server. You don't have to pass them to mantain the session opened. If a session is already closed, that session id will be invalid. — felixgaal, May 27 '12 at 22:33

You should use GET parameters. PHP's format is

myscript.php?session_name=SESSION_ID

Be aware though, that this might not be enabled on your PHP server. Docs about passing the session ID
