Re: Problem with setcookie and IE6.0.2800.1106

As per my earlier commments about seeing the privacy report this will answer all your questions regarding cookies.. also you can allways telnet to the host eg.. telnet {host} 80 get /{page.html} http/1.0 host: {yourdomain.com.au} {enter} {ctrl d} You should then see the header information as well that should include your cookie informaiton if not you have even a bigger problem.

John, Can you see if this works: header("Set-Cookie: foo=bar"); If not, then check the configuration for IE6. I seem to recall hearing that cookies are disabled by default for sites that are not P3P compliant? Or, perhaps that was for third-party cookies only. At any rate, I seem to recall some significant change with IE6 in regards to cookies, so maybe you're experiencing that. My example above will give you the simplest test case for setting a cookie. Good luck, and happy hacking. Chris John Nichel wrote:

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.
