session in netscape

Anon

i wrote a sript that uses a session variable (for login) call userloggedin, after user fills in and submits the form the page is reloading to run the query agains the database to determine whether or not ne has an account in our system and then session_register and header["location: $php_self"] to register the userloggedin variable as a session works fine in IE but does not really in Netscape, if i hit refresh one more time, then works perfect, who can give me a hand with that

thanks a lot

Seems like (I'm no expert) your program transfers from
$HTTP_POST_VARS or
$HTTP_GET_VARS
to $HTTP_SESSION_VARS.

Force your users to update an extra time (quickfix..)

i'm not sure that i understand what you saying ? what extra time ? you mean somehting like
if netsacepe {
header ["Location: $PHP_SELF"];
}

?
well it sounds ok to me, but not to my bosses, is there something else that you can suggest to me

Thanks a lot,

This may or may not be of help.

I set up my site this way to enable session ID's to be established on the 'first page' for users without cookies enabled.

Basically, I have the index.php page make the necessary tests for the session ID/cookie and then call another page using "header: (location, etc." with the session ID appended to the url. (They also get sent to this page when they click on 'log-out'.

Hope this helps.:

session_start();

if ($logout=="yes")
{
unset($PHPSESSID);
unset($loggedin);
unset($logout);
$PHPSESSID="";
$lifetime=time()+2;
setcookie("PHPSESSID", $PHPSESSID, $lifetime, "/", ".advantagegear.com", 0);
$count=0;

}

if (!isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["PHPSESSID"]))
{
$PHPSESSID=session_id();
$lifetime=time()+14000;
setcookie("PHPSESSID", $PHPSESSID, $lifetime, "/", ".advantagegear.com", 0);
session_register('count');
$count=1;

}

header("Location: page1.php?PHPSESSID=$PHPSESSID");
