SERVER
OS: WIN 2000
PHP: 4.04p1
HTTPD: APACHE 1.3.17
Had problems with remote clients accessing our site. After the login the frames page would load, which loads all of the information about the users. I can see the session getting created for the frames page. When the framesets load they start up new sessions & loose all of the information. The weird thing is I don't have this problem from within our internal network. I found that if the pages loaded with the IP vs. domain name it worked fine, so I modified the frames page to use the IP address, but I still want to see if anyone knows why this happened.
I thought the problem was fixed until last night. The session works fine in IE browsers, but Netscape & maybe other mozilla 4.5 browsers have the same problem. On the initial login it failed, but if they logout and back in it works fine. I found if I created the session prior to the frames page loading it worked fine. Unfortunately I couldn't take the server down to change the default startup page, so I made a redirect page to a PHP script to start the session. If anyone has any insight I would very much appreciate it.
Sorry if this has already been posted, I did spend about 3 hours looking for some explanation.
Thank you,
