phulla Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I have developed several applications with PHP all use SESSIONS and a few weeks ago all was working fine, but i [b]think[/b] after installing some Ad-Ware removal software (Lavasoft) this has somewhere, somehow caused some problems with Cookie and Session problem. If i try any of my PHP applications and try to login, the actual login function works, in that it checks the username and password and directs users to the correct logged in page, but anything controlled by sessions does not work, for example the menu. When a user logs in, sessions variables are set that determine user level and which menus should be displayed, but this is not happening. My applications running on hosted servers work fine, so it is something local to my machine and its settings, in the registry, which i have scanned using spybot, which did not find anything....Session variables are being stored in the session directory i have set, but nothing. Can anyone help or has anyone had similar problem.Before anyone answers, I know its not a PHP session problem with my code because i have applications developed from 4 to 5 years ago which do not work locally, which were working a few weeks ago. I dont think the problem i am having is directly related to PHP because sometimes when i click on preferences in Google, i get an error suggesting i have not enabled Cookies, but i check my browser (FF v1.5.0.9) settings and all is fine. The same happens in IE. I had nowhere else to go that is why i am posting here! I have shed loads of work on and i can not continue until i get this problem fixed.

PC Nerd Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 i dont know much about this area, but it sounds as though your accepting the cookies from your actual browser, but a firewall or something similar may actually be blocking them. sorry i cant be much more help, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phulla Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 ok, not a problem, this is something i can check, which i have not done already. I have Zone Alarm installed and disabled Windows firewall..... this combi has worked in the past and i have recently updated the application... thanks.

phulla Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 SOLVED!I must have changed the cookie settings in Zone Alarm which were blocking and/or resetting cookies after i closed my browser. Hopefully this has solved my problem. I thank you PC Nerd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
