There are several/many things it COULD be...
First Guess:
header("Location: logged_in_page.php");
Some versions of IE will figure out what you meant with the above
WRONG code, but will NOT carry the Cookie for your session along with
it, so you're bounced back as if you never had a Cookie, even though
you did.
Use a full URI like you're supposed to for Location: and all is well.
The problem user may also have refused Cookies which are probably
being used for your session login to ID the user, and then they can
never login.
I also have long suspected that some versions of IE in some common
settings of their goofy "security" levels will not work unless your
server kicks out those ill-designed p3p headers, but have never taken
the time to prove/test/disprove this hypothesis.
Asking the user to switch to Firefox is just soooo much more
satisfying in the long run than trying to cater to IE broken-ness...
:-)
YMMV
There are probably a dozen things more that could be going wrong...
You'll have to dig deeper into what's happening to find out.
