Problem with setcookie and IE6.0.2800.1106

Hi guys and gals. I'm having a problem with setting a cookie on IE 6. I'm running RedHat 7, Apache 1.3.26 and php 4.2.3. The cookie sets fine in all other browsers (IE5, Netscape 4 and up, Opera, Mozilla, etc.) but on IE 6, not even my session cookie sets. I've tried all of these.... setcookie ( "$name", "$cookie_data", $date, "/", "by-tor_v70", 0 ); setcookie ( "$name", "$cookie_data", $date, "/", "by-tor_v70" ); setcookie ( "$name", "$cookie_data", $date, "/" ); setcookie ( "$name", "$cookie_data", $date ); setcookie ( "$name", "$cookie_data" ); I've also replaced $date with time() and time()+3600. $date is set to the standard set forth on Netscape's site. Any ideas? thanks, John Nichel
