hi,
if i use i use windows 98 to login to my user auth system which uses sessions, it let's me logon without problems, but if i try the same script with windows xp then it say's the session has timed out.


i am useing php version 4.0.2, could this be one of the IE 6.0.1 problems?
if so, how do i get around it?

thanks for your time

qads,

I'll guess you don't have a correct session.save_path set in your php.ini. Make sure that this setting points to an existant directory on your computer, and that the apache process (or IIS) has write permissions to that directory.

ie6.x/winxp sticks

hi,

yes... i think there is problem with ie6.x/winxp combination for php session.

i also have ie6.x/winxp users always complaining about session timeout/expired. but the same web site don't give any problem for users using ie5 on win9x/nt/2000.

I AM DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR THE FURTHER DETAIL IN THIS REGARD !


regards,

i am not sure if it is session save path problem, but i am sure it is IE6 problem, all my site users who use xp seem to have this, so all the users can't have the save path wrong.....


but how does phpbb do it? does it even use sessions?
