One of my problems is that it's only happening in internet explorer and I can't error check very easily - I don't know how to tell whether the whole cookie has been deleted or just the data inside. But yeah I'm going to simplify it all down and then post the code. It might take me a while

I figured it might be an IE security settings issue but it's not - I made the site trusted and tried it on multiple computers. As far as accepting credit card #'s I was a little worried at first, but I've got an experienced guy helping check my stuff to make sure it's all good - he's just unavailable right now. Anyway, I'm cutting everything down to bare bones code. Maybe that'll help me find the problem.

Also - and perhaps I should have asked this first but it's not really a coding question - Has anyone here had experience with getting a credit card processing service to work with a shopping cart they've written as opposed to a professional one they've paid for? I'm starting to wonder if maybe using an open source shopping cart would be better than this... Thoughts?

I am new to this so forgive me for silly questions but aren't sessions a type of cookies? When I look for cookies in firefox it shows "PHPSESSID" as the cookie and a string of random looking characters as the data. Anyway the answer to your second question is no. I'm not doing a session_start on every page - Only on the pages actually handling session data. Do I need to put a session start on every page even if that's the only PHP executed on the page?

I only have $ProductNumber=$_SESSION['ProductNumber']; $ProductName=$_SESSION['ProductName']; $Size=$_SESSION['Size']; $Color=$_SESSION['Color']; $Price=$_SESSION['Price']; $Quantity=$_SESSION['Quantity']; I'm not using any other cookies other than session cookies.

Nope that's not it. Any other suggestions?

lemme double check that...

I'm pulling my hair out here... Here's my problem. I'm about halfway done with my site (It's a site to sell stuff and I'm working on the shopping cart) when I noticed a big problem. I've got session cookies working in every browser (FF, chrome, safari) except Internet Explorer. For some reason IE likes to delete my session cookies so there's nothing there after I click 'view shopping cart'. I've verified that the session is set but then it gets deleted. Now I am using IFrames and I searched for possible causes and tried changing headers, making sure there's no underscores, etc... No joy The problem is that getting the problem to show up would require a lot of copying code onto this page since it's like 4 or 5 pages to get something into the cart and then view the cart itself. What do you folks recommend? Should I just link to the site itself?
