when using session_start() its cookie is not set with the default name of PHPSESSID. only cookies that i set using setcookie() are set. i only have access to winxp and ie6, not sure if this is the only version of IE that i have a problem with. when using mozilla/firefox session_start() sets the session cookie with default name and any other cookies i set using setcookie(). i can not find anything about this bug(if thats what it is), i googled for a couople of hours and nothing. anyone have an idea?
