Help Needed. Urgent!

Hi there;

I am trying to set the cookie after user login. Then detect if cookie has been set, will take user to menu page. Else pull back to login page again.

The problem i am facing is.

THis things can work on Netscape but not IE. Why?

I am using scripts below;

to check cookie:

if(isset($_cookie['user']))
{

}

to set cookie:

setCookie("thisUser",$pusrID,time()+600);

Can anyone tell me any problem on this scripts? THanks

Hi,

I guess that Netscape and IE take different time to store cookies.
Also if your system (desktop) does not have the right time and timezone the cookie gets expired soon or does not get set at all.

Try giving a longer time for the cookie say 1200 or more.

Hope this helps

Hi, thanks for reply.

I forgot the tell something.

The server is linux red hat(i am not familiar with) and installed with Nestcape and *Koncorer???.

After install, testing the scripts on same server with Netscape and Koncorer is ok. But because of client is using IE, so i went to client's pc (within an intranet), the scripts can run well when it comes to the part that need to set cookie.

I had not tried to install Netscape on that client pc because of their company rules or something.

I set the cookies using the scripts:

setCookie("thisUser",$pusrID,time()+600);

So, do you think i need to put others value which the arguments format is as below...

setcookie ( string name [, string value [, int expire [, string path [, string domain [, int secure]]]]])

Hope someone can help. I am tied with this problem already...

Thanks and all the best to you...
