Re: [PHP] setcookie BUG w/ IE 5.5, 6.0 Netscape!

[Shane Wright]

Oh yeah, about the lifetime of the cookie - with no valid expiry time it is 
created as a session cookie - which is supposed to only live as long as the 
browser does.

[opening a new independent browser window does not share the session, but 
window.open() calls do, as do other 'browser created from browser with 
session' methods, if that makes any sense, grin]

 Just recently I've noticed an issue with setcookie. My scripts which

 Are killing the cookie immediately after you close the browser window, or
 access another https:// site. It appears as though the life of the cookie
 is actually not being set, and is based entirely around the life of the
 browser window which it was originally called.

 if you leave the window open, and attempt at access the cookie from another
 window, the cookie does not exist.

 IDEAS? PHP GODS? :)

 setcookie (myCookie,Blah,time()+7201);

For some reason, you must specify the domain, and make sure you use *exact* 
formatting on the time, including the GMT suffix.

I gave up on setcookie and started using this:

$date = gmdate(D, d-M-Y H:i:s, ($time));

header ('Set-Cookie: username='.$username.'; expires='.$date.' GMT; path=/; 
domain='.$SERVER_ADDR);

Problem is, I just upgraded a machine to Netscape 6.2 from 6.1, and now it 
won't set the cookie :(
