Cookie troubles...

[Anon]

Hey all...

I use PHP 4.0.1pl2 on Win2k/IIS5. I am having trouble getting sessions and cookies working.

I can set a single cookie fine. When I set two cookies, I get strange problems. A check if the HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[cookie_name] is set fails sometimes but not others, and it sometimes shows up in phpinfo() but not others.

Any suggestions? I also just installed Zend Optimizer...could this have anything to do with it?

OK, so I got the cookies to work (long story). BUt now I face a new problem.

From one page I do a user authentication against a MySQL database. If it is successfuly I show the restricted page. I set a cookie that I will reuse to see if the user is logged in still (in another area). The problem is, if you change from the restriced page to an non-restricted page, then hit the back button to go back to the restricted page, I get the "Page Expired" message and I have to reload.

I am not setting any Cache-Control headers at the moment. Is there anything else I should check?
