[PHP] Fixed session prob with Netscape

2001-03-08 Thread Robert Fischler, Ph.D. ABD

I fixed the problem I had with Netscape not working well with sessions
(whereas MSIE worked fine for me).  Apparently, Netscape works well with
cookies (and ironically, MSIE doesn't).  Of course, many would probably
disagree, but I'm ONLY speaking from MY recent experience and specifically
on the Mac platform.  So, anyway, my solution was to set both sessions and
cookies at the same time, wherever needed, and do my authentication (etc) by
seeing if either one or the other is set (e.g., if $session = logged or
$cookie = bitten then...).

Hope this helps someone.

Best,

 Subject: [PHP] Netscape problems with PHP
 
 Hello all (first post for me!):
 
 I've been running into problems when testing PHP scripts on Netscape (when
 MSIE works fine).
 
 First problem (SOLVED) was that Netscape does something funny with the
 $PHP_SELF environmental variable, so I've learned to circumvent the problem
 by just hard-coding the page name instead of relying on the $PHP_SELF trick.
 
 Second problem (UNSOLVED, SO FAR) is that Netscape (...and I'm talking about
 Communicator 4.75 for the Mac, at least) doesn't carry my session variables
 over from page to page.  Has anyone else ran into this problem and found a
 solution?
 
 Thanks!!!
 P.S.   Things seem to work fine in the new Netscape 6, but most Mac users
 are still at 4.75.
