The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

CodeIgniter (PHP) session and cookie problems

Asked by hbkmunroe in PHP Frameworks, PHP Scripting Language, Web Browsers

Tags: php, codeigniter, cookies, sessions

Because of session problems in CodeIgniter (PHP) that were clogging up error logs, I followed a recommendation to set the cookie domain, which was previously unset. So this was changed from $config['cookie_domain'] = ''; to $config['cookie_domain'] = '.domainname.com'; With the leading . to cover all sub-domains.

Since this, anyone who visited the site was not able to do anything that required a session, so logging in etc. So I changed the setting back. However the problem still persists. I think that anyone who came to the site during the period of time that setting was active, have been given a cookie that won't let them login and it won't expire for another two weeks.

Is there anything I can do programatically to delete this cookie from those that required it deleted yet keep things the same for those who don't? It's hard to tell how many people may be affected and it seems I can't fix the problem without screwing it up for other users.
