Access PHP Object on AJAX Parser Page?

Question

I'm using AJAX to submit POST data to a parser file

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: '<?php echo AJAX_DIR; ?>/parser.php',
    data: data,
    etc......

On the submitting page, I can echo/use $user->data()->id; just fine. If I browse to the parser file directly I can also echo/use $user->data()->id; just fine. However, when I submit the AJAX, the $user object is empty.

I've also tried using a $_SESSION variable to get my data to the AJAX parser and the same behavior is present (good on the page and parser file when I browse to it, but empty upon AJAX submission).

Any ideas?

EDIT for showing the first few lines of the parser file...

<?php

//For allowing this to be accessed from anywhere within users.mysite.com
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://users.mysite.com');

//Userspice requires
require_once '../../init.php';

Note: The init.php file starts the session as the first thing.

Can we see your parser.php code. And at first look what i feel is that your parser.php might be looking for a cookie /header in the ajax request which might be causing the issue. to be clear is the $user object retrieved from session ? — BlackBurn027

@Osama: I'm not sure what you mean. $user is an object. OVerall, the issue seems to be that I'm losing the entire session when submitting ajax, but it's fine when I browse to the parser file directly. — gtilflm

Got it figured out. If you are sending ajax from sub.domain.com and parsing it at domain.com/sub/parser.php it breaks. I fixed it by telling the ajax submit to parse the info. at sub.domain.com/parser.php.

Hope that helps someone else.
