RE: [PHP] PHP $_SESSION Expiring in IE
I use sessions with IE all the time without such a problem.

Re: [PHP] PHP $_SESSION Expiring in IE
Have you tried the header(Cache-control: private) workaround for IE6? I seem to remember reading something about that on one of the web dev sites (devshed probably). Use that immediately after session_start() and see if it makes a difference.

RE: [PHP] PHP $_SESSION Expiring in IE
Doesn't seem to have solved the problem... My session include file at
the top of all documents looks like:
session_save_path($some_path/sessions);
ini_set('session.use_cookies', 1);
ini_set('session.gc_probability', 1);
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 60 * 60);
ini_set('session.auto_start', '1');
session_start();
header(Cache-control: private);

Hello,
I have recently launched the new Planet-Tolkien.com, one would think
that writing a message board from scratch and a dynamic weather
system, a simple session login would be the least of my problems
right? 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;

Re: [PHP] PHP $_SESSION Expiring in IE
Guess I'm being nosy here, so forgive me, but why are you settting an
alternate save path and using ini_set at the start of each document? I know
that has nothing to do with the problem, but I was just wondering. Are you
hosting multiple sites off your server and have different session settings
depending on the site?
