PHP setcookie() IE 6.0

[clacy]

I use setcookie() successfully on Netscape 4.72 and Netscape 6.1, but it fails on IE 6.0.

The call is very straightforward:

setcookie( name, value, expire);

It works in the Netscape browsers (I can see the cookie in the ~/.netscape/cookies file), but never gets set in IE 6.0

Can anyone tell me how to make this work? Thanks very much.

Use this sample for the expiration date: $expDate = time()+259200; Of course set the time to your own preference. Also, if you use apache verify the cookies module is loading.

Yes, I set IE 6.0 to accept cookies. Actually, the path is

Tools->Internet Options->Privacy

where one finds a slider to set privacy. I have 'medium', which allows cookies from all websites.

I am using

time() + 366*86400

for the time parameter, which should make the cookie good for a leap year. [How does one make it permanent, by the way?]

There must be a clue in the fact that it will work for Netscape but not IE, but I haven't found a solution yet.
