cookies and apache and php4

Anon

Hi people,

I have a problem and don't know how to solve it. I have installed Apache, PHP4 and MySQL under Win98 on my system. I programmed a user login via cookies. Now the fun: on my system, on the same computer it works fine, even if I contact it via the internet. But if I use an other computer it don't work, he sets no cookie and I am directly logged out. Is there a difference in the confihuration of my system, when I contact my page via the internet from the same computer (where the system is installed) and from an other computer ? Do I have to configure the php.ini or httpd.conf to use cookies in different ways ?

thanx in advance,

Andreas

I don't understand what you're asking. You said "he sets no cookie." Isn't that a difference in configuration on the other computers that could be causing a problem?

This is my problem. I host this site (exactly the same php)on two different conmputers: a professional hosting service and my own computer with a permanent IP. The cookie stuff works like it should with the professional service. But with my Apache, my PHP4 and my MySQL (that shouldn't be relevant) on my computer it works only on the same computer, but if I try to log in from another computer it doesn't work. So the Browser is the same, the php is the same (I just copied it and put in the right DB password and so on), but from the professional host it works and from my own host computer it doesn't. So I have to made a mistake by configuring the Apache or the PHP for foreign cookie settings or stuff I don't know. Maybe I configure php.ini and httpd.conf totally new ?!?
