Netscape Session, Cookie and late nights

blakey

Hi all.

I have some PHP scripting that authenticates users. In IE it is fine.
In Netscape 6 it is fine... but in Netscape 4.7 ... NO GO!

So far this is the only way I have found to successfully set a cookie in Netscape 4.7:

<?
$cook_value = "Sugar";

if($task == "")
{
setcookie ("TestCookie",$cook_value,time()+604800);
$task = "redirect";
}

if($task == "redirect")
{
header("Location: getcookie.php?task=nothing");
exit();
}

echo "$TestCookie - Cookie";
?>

My Problem is... how can I get the PHP Session Control to successfully set the cookie? How can I use Sessions with Netscape 4.7 ? Any Help will be very appreciated...

Thanks.

Sessions are server side, netscape cant f that up.

As for cookie, remeber this..
Cookies will not become visible until the next loading of a page that the cookie should be visible for.

Try using a date() like
"Fri, 09-Feb-2002 12:13:00 GMT" instead of a timestamp.

That is, use date('r',time()+604800)

This is closer to the cookie spec, though slight tweaking of the date format might be called for ("Friday" instead of "Fri", for example) than just the raw timestamp.

I'm not saying this will work, but it is an idea.

In regards to sessions... they do not work (are not recognized) for me in Netscape 4.7 only in Netscape 6. so they are f'd up...

any ideas?
