Re: Setting cookie very broken! Please help!

The server is not the client. I've tried the same code on two different servers, browing with various versions of IE, Netscape, Mozilla, and Konqueror. However, I can live with this, because I put the beta version (a rewrite) of the code on the new webserver, and it works. I find it very odd that the old one doesn't though, considering that it's the same Apache/PHP configuration, and the same code, on both machines. Only difference is PHP v4.0.6 on the old one, vs. PHP v4.1.1 on the new one. If anyone is interested, I can send a tarball of the old code. - Casey On Tuesday 15 January 2002 10:22 am, Richard Crawford wrote: > On the new machine, does your code work in Netscape or Mozilla or Opera? > > Does it work in IE on other machines? > > If yes, then double-check the security settings in the new installation > of IE on the new computer. > > Casey Allen Shobe wrote: > > I've set up a new machine in a production environment to roll over an > > existing PHP script onto.
