heyme Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hello, Hope someone will have some feedback. Am I going nuts or is there a problem with SID's in IE7 which were not there in IE6/Firefox? I sell some CD's of our label on www.heavenhotel.be, and was using the SID as ordernumber, figuring this is always unique etc. Works fine, can add CD's/remove CD's and such, but in IE7 when I transfer the order to paypal or finalize the order some strange things happen when IE7 is used. Things which give me nightmares: User info is switched in some cases (order received but for wrong user), and in other cases the session ID is dropped completely resulting in an empty order. Only happens on IE7, XP or Vista makes no difference. I created a workaround now by generating my own order ID, but still need to use the Session ID to bind all together, and just helped out my friends on www.heavenhotel.be/jezusfactory with creating the same kind-of application and just published this, and thought all went well, but just placed an order myself which came from my e-mail, but with the address of the previous person ordering. Seems issue is still there. Any suggestions? Is this a known bug, and is Microsoft aware and working on this? It's very worrying in any case, if I cannot use sessions I might as well quit... Sorry for the long post, appreciate feedback, Heyme Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/85508-ie7-and-sessions-dont-seem-to-like-each-other/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyme Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Scary behavior, but that definitly is not what was happening with me, I used only one browserwindow to test, and did not even navigate away from the page, and neither had any other windows open. Even though that post was scary enough to have me think of using cookies or something like that indeed, nice tip... Even though nowadays lots of folks deny cookies, anybody have a view on that?
