Re: Session problems based on browser?

Till having no luck. Expires didn't work. I've put it on another server with the same results. Completely stripped sessions off of the code and it works perfectly with a normal username variable. Perhaps the session headers are confusing IE? We will try to update to the latest version of PHP (currenty running 4.1.2 on Apache/1.3.23). I might also try a different version of IE.
