"Are there any points in the program that redirect the user off site and back or something with that affect that IE might be handling in a weird way?"
Nope "Do you have pages that detect the browser and feed alternate content based on the browser?" Nope "do you always run the session_start before these checks?" Yes. The only other thing I guess it could be is the .htaccess mod_rewrite maybe? It's just weird that Internet Explorer is the only browser that seemingly looses the members $_SESSION where as Mozilla is not effected whatsoever.

Wrong. It would appear that for Mozilla and Opera keep a $_SESSION is not an issue and the $_SESSION is continued until the member logs out. However when members are using Internet Explorer browser (most versions it seems), they can go around the site for varied amounts of time, usually less than five minutes and then their $_SESSION will expire!!?? I cannot for the life of me figure out why a server side $_SESSION would expire on IE but not for MOZ or Opera but it is, and I need to figure out why and how can I fix this. REF. All login information is saved as such: session_save_path("$path/sessions"); session_start(); $_SESSION['session_memberID']=$session_memberID; $_SESSION['session_username']=$session_username; $_SESSION['session_groupID']=$membergroup; In Fellowship, Tarrant -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
