Did you include session start() function on top of your iFrame but also did include the connection file that connected tht database?

Are the iframe contents and the parent page on the same domain?

So you have something like this:

<?php 
session_start();
include("folder/database.php");
?>

and it still lost session?

That is weird.

Like what diafol mention are the iframe and parent page on the same domain?

You can take a look at this (it has some code which you can add to your own code):
