grissom Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Apologies if this has been answered in another thread .. but .. My site uses SESSION variables to carry info over from one page to another. Up until a few days ago everything worked perfectly in all browsers. After the recent Internet Explorer "hot fix" the session variables no longer carry info across in Internet Explorer. Firefox, Opera and Navigator still work absolutely perfectly - as does IE on my daughter's computer which has not had the "IE hot fix". Please can anybody help ..... PLEASE ...

aschk Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Sessions are still persisting on your server, i guarantee you of that. However with the latest IE hot fix you might find that your cookie permissions have been altered. Sessions typically rely on cookies, and if they aren't being stored each new request to the server will result in another session being created. This is not a PHP problem, but a browser issue.

grissom Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Thanks aschk Next issue then, hopefully not a big one is how to change the browser settings to allow it to work. I've been into "Tools" -> Internet Options" -> "Security" and "Privacy" and clicked on just about everything but the issue still persists. Any help anyone please ?? P.S. I've been trying it on IE8, but a fix for IE7 is also appreciated. Thanks.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 If you were to post the IE hot fix article number, someone could help you about 1000 times faster because they would have clue as to what exactly got changed.

grissom Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 I don't know the article number, it was the urgent fix rushed out on Dec 17th, the one found at this address : http://www.microsoft.com/protect/computer/updates/bulletins/200812_oob.mspx Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/138008-session-no-longer-works-in-ie/#findComment-721426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
grissom Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Okay, I have played with some settings, and most of the session variables now work. There is one which still will NOT work however, it worked fine before and it still works on Firefox. The only difference is that this cookie is not set within the main HTML, it is set in a separate HTML file running inside <OBJECT> tags. I can't use QUERY_STRING as an alternative, because I'm already using that quite heavily, so basically I've got to get the browser to accept the session variable which is set in the html inside the <object> tags to be globally recognised outsode of the <object>. Like I say, Firefox, Opera and Navigator handle it fine, as does my daughter's PC running a slightly different version if IE. This is driving me nuts.
