Cookies disappearing?

[fallus]

Hi,

I'm having problems with cookies that disappear. For instance, I have some sort of session cookie (home-made, no PHP sessions), which only changes when someone logs out (I set them with empty strings to clear them). But every now and then users are logged out automatically. The cookies just disappear, bith in Opera and Internet Explorer.
I set my cookies like this :

setcookie("userID",$userRow['userID'],myTime()[phone]);
setcookie("usercode",md5($userRow['userID'].$secretcode),myTime()[phone]);

Is it because I don't specify the path and stuff like that? Because it WORKS, the cookies are set, but they just seem to disappear every now and then. Pretty weird.

Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot!

Im having the same problem, but with PHP sessions creating empty session files in /tmp. Funny thing is that it is only happening with 1 specific computer on the network here. (This is for an intranet application)

I'm also having the same problem with empty files in /tmp. I have 3 identical web servers, all installed using Apache Toolbox with identical file trees, same PHP.INI - they're all mirrors...

Has anyone had any luck fixing this? I'm reaching the end of my troubleshooting skills and I'm still without a solution...

ARGH! 😉
