Sessions vaiables in IE suck!

Post by poopoopity »

Hey guys I'm new to this forum but it definitely looks like a good one. I saw someone else post about this recently but with no resolution. I'm setting session variables in my script at time of login. Eveything works fine in FireFox/Opera but in IE/AOL it seems to lose the $_SESSION vairable after the first page? Check it out on my site:
http://www.knoxauctions.com

go to login and use:
username: blah
password: blah

Then click on MyHome on the left.

The infomoration comes up fine in Firefox but is blank in IE. Any help would be extremely appreciated and I look forward to helping others in this little community soon.

P.S. I am using the session_start() on every page :)

There is a default setting to block "suspicious" cookies in IE. Maybe you could advice users to allow session cookies always. These settings can be found in Privacy (or something like that) tab.

nope been there and done that. I've gotten this working before on other sites this is wierd. Didn't know if someone else had run into it and figured out one of those "bang your head" mistakes. I'll get some code up in a sec. Thanks for the thought though.

Why must FF beat IE so badly?
