Re: [PHP] cookies with internet explorer on macs
One thing to check is the time zone that you have set on the server and the client machines. I remembering reading about cookie duration issues before, but I forget exactly where the problem was. There is a link between IE and Entourage/Outlook Express on the Mac. One thing I see as a problem is that quitting out of IE does not release the session cookies if Entourage or Outlook Express is open. You have to quit both program to clear session cookies. I haven't actually tested this in the very latest versions, but it worked this way under OS9.

[PHP] cookies with internet explorer on macs
Hi! The cookies i set for people using Internet Explorer on mac (OS X or mac os 8-9) are not staying alive as long as I would like(12hours) they only last for a few hours or sometimes even a few minutes, the time on the end users computers are set correctly. IE on windows is fine and Mozilla and other browsers on linux are fine. This is what I use to set the cookie. $rand = md5(uniqid(rand())); setcookie(sessid, $rand, time()+43200, /); Any ideas?
