Beware, the example below works fine on my testing server but didn't work on my providers server; <?php setcookie("SessionID","a test cookie"); ?> Once the cookie is set my entire web site fails with messages similar to. "An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server." I'd used similar code for years on another site, but where the value was numeric, I'd made a minor change to generate a random string for the session ID and then got this issue. The solution is not to use the cookie name "SessionID", i.e. <?php setcookie("SessionToken","a test cookie"); ?> works fine. --was-- Beware, the example below works fine on my testing server but didn't work on my providers server; setcookie("SessionID","a test cookie"); Once the cookie is set my entire web site fails with messages similar to.
