cookies don't work in IE

[fortytwo]

Hi all,

I have some code here:
[tt]
$time = time();
$exp = $time + 60;
$cookie = setcookie("usercookie", "hello", $exp);
[/tt]
that is meant to set a cookie, and it does in netscape 4.8 but it IE doesn't seem to take it (it is not there when I check in the script). Anyone got any ideas?

First of all, you shouldn't skip all of the parameters

Take a look at

http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html

Different browsers have problems if all of them aren't set.

For version/browser specific workarounds, go to

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

and read the comments.

I have tried this:
[tt]
$time = time();
$exp = $time + 60;
$cookie = setcookie("usercookie", "hello", $exp, "/", ".windupbanana.co.uk"
[/tt]
and:
[tt]
$time = time();
$exp = $time + 60;
$cookie = setcookie("usercookie", "hello", $exp, "/", ".windupbanana.co.uk", 0);
[/tt]
but still the cookie does not get set. I am really stumped over this one. I have had the shortened version working before on a different server:
[tt]
$time = time();
$exp = $time + 60;
$cookie = setcookie("usercookie", "hello", $exp);
[/tt]
Could this be due to the different server?

Will.
