login issue with intenet explorer only

thalakola · December 27, 2006

We have a php page that validates the login credentials of the user. For some reason, when
we enter the login and password in the internet explorer, the login fails and the same login page is displayed with the login and password fields cleared.

However, when we access the same page through Mozilla firefox, the login works and we move on to the another page.

In both browsers the login is through secure http,
(https)

Here is the login.php code
-------------------------
[code]
 
<table class="table2nd" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="table2ndHead">

<?php
echo $TITLE;
?>

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="table2ndBody">

<?php
if (!$_SERVER['HTTPS']){

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/includes/https_error.php");

}
else if ($_SESSION['brokerID'] || $_SESSION['employeeID'] || $_SESSION['trial']){
echo '
 
 Thank you for signing on to WLOconnect

';

// Print links depending on login session type

if ($_SESSION['brokerID']){

echo'
