We've had that same problem here with IE 5 for Mac. The solution ended up
being setting the cookie like this: setcookie("cookie_name", $cookie_value)
with nothing else (no time, etc.). That is the only way that old crappy
browser would accept the cookie.
Which leaves me to wonder...why are we still programming to support browsers
with obvious bugs in them?!?!
