Re: Setcookie problem in ie 5.0

Somehow the browser accepts the variables after the redirection and uses them to display a greeting message (works only in IE 5.0, not in Netscape :-( another headache), however, if I close the browser window and open a new one with the page which the authentication script redirects the browser to, no greeting message appears (though it's supposed to), which means there's NO cookie. I'm so frustrated! Can somebody help with this thing? I tried to use JavaScript with its windows.location instead of PHP's Header ("Location"). Still no luck. >Rustam Nabirov wrote: > >> I'm using IE5.0 on Win98, it's as simple as it gets. But still I don't see >> any cookies saved.
