Re: Header() makes session expire (fqdn?)

Possibly due to the nature of cookies, and the fact that they're only available to the domain in which they're set. I can't really be bothered going and looking up the cookie spec right now, but you'll possibly find that you can't set a cookie for a domain name, then use that same cookie by using the IP address of that domain name instead of the domain name itself, and vice versa. jason > Hello List, > > I was wondering if someone could tell me why this line > > > Header("Location:http://www.somedomain.com/somepage.phtml"); > > expires the users session, but > > Header("Location: >http://192.168.1.199/somepage.phtml"); > > keeps the session and page flow intact?
