RE: [PHP-DB] Cookies on a Macintosh
No luck with that I'm afraid. The Mac IE still refuses to use the cookie.
Cookies are on, it will use cookies on other sites, just not on the one I've
created using PHP. I've tried making other cookies to test it, but still no go.
There's no bugs in PHP3 with respect to making cookies are there?
I just don't understand why it will work in netscape on the mac, but not any
versions of IE...
Any other ideas?
Thanks very much,

RE: [PHP-DB] Cookies on a Macintosh
G'day!
A1: $ran3 is a random number/letter combination I'm using to identify a user.
It sets that random value in the database when they log in using their
username/password. All pages contained within check that number against the
database. Not the most secure of methods, but I'm only using php3 which hasn't
got the security features of 4. And it's definately better than using their
password in the cookie. After they log out, the random value is changed. It's
enclosed in quotes because that's the way my PHP book does it :P
A2: Because I can see the cookie on the macintosh cookie list. Which means it's
being set, but the format probably isn't right for IE. I think Andrew's
(thanks!) suggestion might be the go though, I'll give that a try when I'm
working on it again.
Thanks all:)

What does "$ran3" contain, and why is it enclosed in quotes? (It
shouldn't matter, but I'm interested.)
Also, how do you know it sets the cookie if it refuses to use the
variable? How does it refuse to use the variable in a manner that lets
you know it set the cookie?
