cookie woos.(or, IE blows!!!)

[marli]

Right, the sit in question
www.solarnova.co.uk/politica/index2.htm
its a frame of simhen.hostingrapid.com/v3-politica.php
The site uses cookies and is in php.

I currently format my cookies like this:

PHP Code:

setcookie('cookie',var); 


HOWEVER both Konquerer and IE dont seem to like this, firefox has NO problem.
if I change my cookie to:

PHP Code:

setcookie('cookie',var,,'.solarnova.co.uk',0);[/ 


Nothing likes it.
I need cookies to expire at browser close.
so I format it like this:

PHP Code:

setcookie('cookie',var,0,'.solarnova.co.uk',0);[/ 


IE like it but FrFx not!!!!
(Icouldnt at that point be bothered to boot my linux install to see how Konquerer responded.

also see my post about mail here

any ideas?

You have the standard set of required information for setting a cookie. Without adding an expiration, the cookie will expire when the browser is closed.

Exactly what does IE 'not like' about the cookie request?

[marli]

the 3 cookies are:
logged in, yes or no
users name
user DB id no.

when using IE logging onto the site is ok, however click on any links and it shows the front page (and my debug shows the cookie is empty)
basicly i cant stay logged in. same with konquerer

go to www.solarnova.co.uk/politica/index2.htm
login: zed
pass: one

"We are sorry Your account has not been activated" is what I get on the next page.

Yes, no cookies are being sent.

But - all of the links point to the front page :
http://simhen.hostingrapid.com/v3-politica.php?from=

I can't tell if these are static html coding or dynamic coding because of the cookie issue. However, the index2.html page does state that I was logged in as zed. Is it getting the username from the previous form?

Is it possible to send the code of your pages to my PM? It would be easier to debug.
