Not sure how ISAPI has anything to do with Apache on Redhat here. But I guess you are just making two disjointed comments. > Oddly, it does work most of the time.

There is no ISAPI for Linux. > At first, I was frustrated that the cookie decrypter was only available in > Java..

Having to run a Java emulator just to decode a cookie sounds absolutely nuts to me. Can you not get the algorithm for decrypting this cookie and simply write it in C? That's how everyone else achieves code portability. > Now, I'm just frustrated that PHP doesn't work very well with Java. > Myself and several others have looked extensively for the answer to this > and we've tried all the viable remedies that have been suggested.

The demand has been very low and volunteers to improve it are hard to find. If someone steps up to do it, it will improve. -Rasmus -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
