Re: cookies problem

Mark, I've run in to this problem - first noticing this with PHP Nuke. This cookie problem seems to be a result of a server configuration issue with the Windows operating system. At work I have 2 Win-2k servers, both running PHP 4.3.2, our production

web-server can set cookies no problem.     On our dev-web server, cookies can not be set.    This is cause of the "admin loop" error of PHP Nuke - if you're doing any reading on the forums.  This is web-server independant, you'll notice if you install Apache on the system, you will have the same issue of cookies not being set.    Now, something I will try is setting Apache up in CGI mode to see if that has the same problems?  
Internet explorer 5.0 should work for you, however versions of 5.5+ (and some of the other browsers such as Opera), require a domain to

be set as part of the cookie, and as such error out. I've been tracking this problem on our dev server for a while, and it seems to be part of the Win 2k hardening proceedures that Microsoft

recommends.    Using the exact same PHP configuration on the exact same web-servers  (same patch levels to the T), one works and one does not

Hi everybody: I have php 4.3.2 running as a isapi module on WinXP with IIS 5.1. When I run the following script: setcookie("auth_login",$cookie_val['auth_login'],time() + 3600); or setcookie("auth_level",$cookie_val['auth_level'],time() + 3600); it fails to set the cookie in browsers different of netscape navigator. ie opera or internet explorer. nevertheless it works localy with internet explorer. I have check all kind of privacy settings in this browsers and it remains the same... does someone have a clue about this?
