Another issue. :-) I've another site I've built that uses PHP sessions for
user authentication. When the user logs in with a user/pass, that is matched
against a record in the database and, if found, that user object is stored in
the session along with various other tracking data like the IP address, and
the session key is stored in the user table. Then when viewing a page, the
systems compares the session key against the user table and the IP address of
the request against the saved IP address. If anything doesn't match up
properly, the user is kicked out.
OK, all fine and dandy. It works correctly in both IE and Firefox on our test
server. On the live site, however, it works only in Firefox. In IE, it
accepts the initial login and displays the first page, but then the next time
the user clicks a link they are asked to login again, as if the session is
not being sent or saved properly. Both servers are running Linux and PHP
4.3.x.
We had issues before with the session not working correctly in IE, but I fixed
those with info from the php.net manual user comments. I'm at a loss as to
why it's only happening on the one server and not the other now. If it were
the other way around I wouldn't care, but the live site shouldn't break. :-)
Any idea what could be the problem?
It sounds like the IE is putting different security/cookie settings for
your local and remote site.
