PHP: SESSION lost on SUBDOMAIN

I am trying to use session data on multiple subdomains:

When I try to use session data from www.example.com to any subdomain, all the session information is not accessible.

Since I am a PHP beginner, please dumb down your response so I may understand it.

Here is an example:

File 1:

<?php
// FILE 1: www.example.com/index.php

session_start();
$_SESSION['status'] = "ON";
header( 'Location: http://sub.mywebsite/' );
?>

File 2:

<?php
// FILE 2: sub.example.com/index.php

session_start();
echo "Your session status is: ";
echo $_SESSION['status'];
?>

I solve my problem thanks to this link PHP Sessions across sub domains

PHP:

<?php
session_set_cookie_params(0, '/', '.mywebsite.com');
session_start();
//Code...
?>

Be sure you set SESSIONID cookie on subdomain, too

ini_set('session.cookie_domain', '.my-domain.com');

By default this will not work, but you can get around it as described here: http://www.gonnalearn.com/2008/04/10/sharing-session-data-across-domains-with-php/
