**URGENT** PHP cookies firefox/netscape vs IE
ok here is what some background
Site is PHP 4.x.x
Apache server
Sessions are stored in the database
When using any browser but IE you can login to the site just fine.
when I look into the sessions table it creates 1 row for the user logging in
When a user goes to the login page with IE
it creates a session when hitting the login page, but when you tap login and the script goes back to the login page because of some unknown reason. Now you look into the sessions tables there is about 5 session rows
nobody else but me is hitting the script. I also delete the session table data before each try so I can see what is new
It is not my code I just need to fix it.
I have no idea why it works in firefox/mozilla/netscape and not in IE.
Thanks!

ASKER
Just to elaborate, this app uses database sessions with cookies on the client
the cookie is not getting set propertly on IE but it is for Netscape/Firefox
I did a print of out session variables in IE and nothing shows, I did it in netscape/firefox and it shows the data just fine.
hmm.....

Does this look right to you?
setcookie( "sess_key",$key,0,"/","." . str_replace( "www","",$_SERVER["SERVER_
setcookie( "sess_key",$key,0,"/","." . str_replace( "www","",$_SERVER["SERVER_
ASKER
I figured it out the above line should be setcookie( "sess_key",$key,0,"/", str_replace( "www","",$_SERVER["SERVER_
I am not sure why the previous client had the extra period in there.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Something like:
if(!$_SESSION){ header("Location: index.php"); }
Cant really help ya without a block of code though..
I would look near where the page is reloading itself (include), calling a header("Location:"), or where your session function is being called from..
