[SOLVED] SESSION doesnt work correct in IE8

[Allan-]

In Firefox and Google Crome my code works correct, but in IE it doesnt.

The problem is that before or after loading a page in IE, $_SESSION is unsetted. If i set $_SESSION['online'] = 1, then after reloading the page then print_r($_SESSION) outputs nothing.

PHP is server side so not affected by client browser..

 

However, without seeing your code theirs not much we can say,

does this code work (in its own file) ?

<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['online']))
{
$_SESSION['online']++;
}else{
$_SESSION['online'] = 1;
}
echo $_SESSION['online'];
?>

I'll deal with this problem later then

I just hate IE. Why cant it work fine as the other browsers.

Try on another computer, (or host your script an ask someone to test it)

 

First try deleting all your IE8 cookies.

I just had this issue show up, and (finally) managed to track down the problem / solution:

 

IE8 rejects cookies when there is an underscore in the URL.

As ridiculous as it sounds, that's it.
