I have seen this as well. Try using netscape or an earlier version of IE and you will probably find it will work without issue. I posted about this many moons ago and unfortunately didn't get a solution. I can't recall the specifics of when it was doing it (and if I remember correctly, sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't - in the context of a members area where sessions are used - some pages worked, others didn't - same sessions method), but on some servers, we had no issues (exactly the same versions of linux, php etc) and others this happens. There must have been some sort of variation at our end, but we couldn't see it.
We upgraded to PHP Version 4.2.3, and this fixed it. Sorry I can't give you any more info. At the time I was having the problem, I was under a tight schedule and didn't have time to track down possible causes. As I said, the upgrade helped us (also fixed a few mysql query caching problems we were having too - caused a few GD ones though). My guess is that its some sort of cookies problem with windows IE 6 (as that was the only browser I saw the problem on). Best Regards Bob Irwin Server Admin & Web Programmer Planet Netcom If anyone has come across a similar problem to the one described below, and has a solution I'd be really grateful if you can help me out. I'm trying to implement a user authentication process where users can click on an external link to my site. If they're not logged in they get presented with a login dialog. Once they log in they're redirected onwards to the page they initially wanted to visit. The system I have in place at the moment handles authentication using sessions. The bizarre thing is, while everything seems to work on my home pc (windows & iis web server, php 4.2.1), on the host server (linux, apache, php 4.1.2) I get the login screen twice before I get redirected. My hunch is that it's something to do with when session variable become available after registering them. (I'm using the sesssion management functions built in to php 4).
