Hi Puiu,
I've been having the same problem too. My code that worked up until recently
just stopped working. I did change from using:
session_register("user_id");
if (!(user_id)){ ....
to using:
session_start();
if (!$_SESSION['user_id']){ ....
Now it works with my computer Win98 and MS-IE5.5 but not on my client's
computer Win98 and MS-IE6.
I think there's something seriously wrong somewhere (either PHP or MS). I'll
keep you posted if I find a solution.
Pance.
