[FX.php List] Returning to cookie-less session from external server

[Steve Winter]

Hi Jonathan,

Not entirely true... the previous session will still in fact exist, all you
need to do is work out how to get to it... hence my random suggestion before
about recording the sessionID in a place you have access to (if you can't
pass it through the payment processing process)...

Anyway, sounds like you have a solution...

Cheers
Steve

Of course!  That's it.

You can't restart the same session you left with, but you an create a 
new session with the customer ID or other unique ID.

DOH!

As always...thanks, Steve.
