URGENT: Cookie Problems With IE5.

Hi,

I really hope someone can help us with this problem which is causing us serious problems.

Basically we have a Webspeed based site which has increasing interaction with PHP. As part of a number of upgrades, we are now bringing some of the PHP stuff more into the foreground, and so need to allow it to have access to the session data kept in the cookies as set by Webspeed.

at first the cookies were set by

SET-COOKIE(<name>, <value>, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?).

but could not be seen by PHP.
we changed this to

SET-COOKIE(<name>, <value>, ?, ?, "/", "www.<oursite>.com", ?).

And now it works.
Or atleast that is, it works on IE 5.5 and IE 6.

It doesn't however work on IE 5.0,
which is proving a major headache, and somewhat of an embarrasment.

Please, does anyone know why IE 5 and IE 5.5 would treat our cookies differently??

Thanks LOADs in advance.

Cheers,
Lee.
 
Problem Solved... WayHey!

Well thanks a bunch for your help guys!!

Never mind.

I solved the problem myself.

For some reason, when i changed the domain in the set-cookie command, ie5 was returning a value with "?," preceding the actual value. This wasnt happening in 5.5+.

Im sure theres some very obvious techi reason for this, but iv put in some of my own special code to work around the problem.

cheers,
Lee.
