IE7 Header Session Problem

[Copilot 🤖]

Hi Freaks,

 

I thought about taking a club to some of the boys at MS for constantly pissing me off but I thought I'd give this a chance first.

 

Anyway, this page runs fine on my computer locally and on my server with Firefox.  It also runs fine with IE7 locally on my computer, however the log in attempt fails when trying to do so with IE7 on my server.

 

It is redirected by the first header, and takes me to the index.php page, but the session variables return false, displaying the index.php page as normal.

 

I have made a check adding an else after the if(isset($_SESSION['USERNAME']) == TRUE) { } bit, and it returns false.

 

Again, this problem only occurs in IE7.  Simple script too.

 

Here is my login.php

 

<?php
session_start();
require('db.php');

if($_POST['submit']) {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM logins WHERE username = '".$_POST['username']."'
		AND password = '".$_POST['password']."';";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($result);

if($numrows == 1) {
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
session_register("USERNAME");
session_register("USERID");

$_SESSION['USERNAME'] = $row['username'];
$_SESSION['USERID'] = $row['id'];

header("Location: " . $con_dir . "/index.php");
exit();
}

else {
header("Location: " . $con_dir . "/login.php?error=1");
exit();
}
}
else {
require('header.php');

if($_GET['error']) {
	echo "Incorrect login, please try again!";
}
}
?>

<form action="<?php echo $SCRIPT_NAME; ?>" method="post">

<table>
<tr>
<td><strong>Username</strong></td>
<td><input type="text" name="username" style="background:#eeeeee"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Password</strong></td>
<td><input type="password" name="password" style="background:#eeeeee"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login!"></td>
</tr>
</table>

</form>

<?php
require('footer.php');
?>

 

Here is my index.php

<?php
session_start();
require('db.php');
require('header.php');

echo "<table><tr><td valign='top'>";
echo "<img src='name.jpg' style='border: none;'></td>
		<td valign='top' align='right'><h3><a href='form.php'>Contact</a></h3>";
echo "</td></tr><tr><td colspan='3'><hr></td></tr><tr>";

$catsql = "SELECT * FROM categories;";
$catresult = mysql_query($catsql);

while($catrow = mysql_fetch_assoc($catresult)) {

$sql = "SELECT * FROM gallery WHERE cat_id = " . $catrow['id'] . " ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1;";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

if ($i == 2)
{
	print '</tr><tr>';
	$i = 0;
}
$i++;

echo "<td> ";
echo "<strong><a href='gallery.php?id=" . $catrow['id'] . "'>" . $catrow['cat'] . "</strong><br>";
echo "<img src='./art/".$row['image']."' width='250' height='250'></a>";

if(isset($_SESSION['USERNAME']) == TRUE) {
	echo "<br>[<a href='deletecategory.php?id=".$catrow['id']."'><strong>Delete Gallery</strong></a>]    ";
}
echo "</td>";
}
if(isset($_SESSION['USERNAME']) == TRUE) {
	echo "<tr><td colspan='3'><hr></td></tr>";
	echo "<tr><td><strong>Welcome XXX!</strong></td></tr>";

	echo "<tr><td><strong>[<a href='category.php'>Add a category</a>]</strong></td>";
	echo "<td><strong>[<a href='newitem.php'>Add an item</a>]</strong></td></tr>";

	echo "<tr><td><strong>[<a href='contact.php'>Messages</a>]</strong></td>";
	echo "<td><strong>[<a href='logout.php'>Logout</a>]</strong></td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";

require('footer.php');

?>

 

Thanks for reading.

are you in the right domain for the session cookie? what is cookie for domain set to in php.ini? are you using localhost or a private ip address for testing?
