I hate IE and cookies.

But I love cookies ...tasty buggers they are.
For some reason, when using setcookie() it all works out just dandy... But for some reason in IE it sets my website to "Restricted Sites" and can't set cookies (Thus disabling IE viewers ability to...um...VIEW my website ^_^) I looked at another thread about some P3P header stuff, and I put it in, but nothing changed... Still show up as Restricted Sites... How do I get around that piece of Microsoft <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span>?

Why don't you go to Options and unset it? I'm under the impression that Internet Explorer doesn't automatically put sites in the Restricted area.

No, on my computer, it doesn't automatically put me on the restricted sites list, but every user who I've talked to has said they couldn't view my website because it put me under Restricted Sites and decided not to save the cookie as it should. And I didn't ask for you to tell me to "Go to your internet options and change it," I'm rather further than that option. I can't possibly change all my users settings.

Then your site must be misbehaving in some way that is causing IE to automatically register the site under Restricted Sites. Does your site use ActiveX or anything like that?

I have an advertisement popup thats hard-coded into my website (Webhost -_-;). That uses javascript and other random <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> that probably shouldn't be there ^_^.

Okay, here's what I think is happening. IE comes preloaded with a list of "Restricted Sites". Your host is one of them.
In order to use cookies, then, you'll have to give your users instructions on how to move this site out of the restricted zone, or find a better host. What is your host anyway?

Well, you could post the link to see if we get the same result, and so we can test and find out why its happening.

http://dumbass.ionichost.com I know my webhost's advertisement probably <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> off IE, but I use <noscript> to nullify it's execution.
I want to know if there is a scripting way to get around the restricted sites thing. ... Or get a new host works for me, but I haven't found a good one yet.

This is why I asked.
For me, on IE6.0.2800.1106, I see it as an "Internet" site, NOT restricted.

I'm curious now why you are getting restricted site for it.. it doesn't happen for me.

For me, IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519
It IS in the restricted sites. I don't know, however, if it got added when I surfed there, or it was always there. Site doesn't work either (heh).
Entry is *.ionichost.com in Restricted Sites list.
Here's what I will suggest: make use of PHP's magical URL parsing ability's and have it toss around the language in all the URLs. Sure, it's clunky, but it'll get around IE for now.

Could you, by any chance, explain that ^_^;; Or mention where I could learn about doing that?

Well, basically, the idea is to pass the language variable around a different way, like a GET variable.

Huh? Oh, by the way, I cant use the newer version of $_GET =D... <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span>-ass version of PHP... (Yay, another point for my host!)
Mind giving examples? I don't learn by lecture, only example.

Meh, that makes things harder. You should get a new host.
I can't really give you an example, because I've never done it before, but here's the configuration option:
url_rewriter.tags
And here's a related page:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php
You should be able to enable it via ini_set()
Then, use sessions for everything.

Did I mention I am not my own host, therefore have no access to that kind of stuff ^_^;; I understand what you're saying with the 'pass variable through $_GET', but that doesn't quite set a cookie...
