Re: Setcookie problem in ie 5.0

Here's my code if anybody else faces the same in the future: $expiretime=mktime()+3600; $date = date("l, d-M-y H:i:s", ($expiretime)); echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Set-Cookie\" content=\"per_db_id=$per_id; expires=$date GMT; path=/\">"; echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Set-Cookie\" content=\"per_db_lname=$per_lname; expires=$date GMT; path=/\">"; echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Set-Cookie\" content=\"per_db_fname=$per_fname; expires=$date GMT; path=/\">"; echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"0;URL=$reflink\">"; Rustam. -----Original Message----- From: Georges da Mata Claessen <georges@embrapa.br> To: Rustam Nabirov <r_nabirov@kazakhstan-gateway.org>; php-general@lists.php.net <php-general@lists.php.net> Date: 12 äåêàáðÿ 2000 ã. 6:01 Subject: Re: [PHP] Setcookie problem in ie 5.0 >I'm sending the code I used to authenticate the cookie.
