I have a login procedure on my website. It seem to work fine for almost a minute. After that the session variable looses it's value and I have to login again.

The strange part is if I go to the website in Firefox it works perfectly and I don't have to keep logging in. This seems to only happen in IE6.

I was told to check out my phpinfo and it seems fine. Someone else said it was P3P related so I started working on adding the code for that. I have that code in place but not sure it is totally working.

It's a pain for my customers to have to keep logging in after a minute or so.

Any ideas?

How do you set session cookies and how do you read them next? The code please.

Found out it is a re-direct issue that cause the session value to be lost.
The code below works.

So in login.php you have this.
session_start();
....
...
$_SESSION['MyName'] = mysql_result($rs, 0, "name");
header("Location: newpage.php?PHPSESSID=".session*_id());
// without including PHPSESSID you will loose the value in MyName

Then in newpage.php the code looks like this
<?php
session_id($_GET['PHPSESSID']);
session_start();

// by setting the sessionID it works.

Just for kicks have a look at your PHP.ini file to check that the session timeout is = to "0". If not and you want to use sessions until the browser is closed you'll need to set it to "0", or you can just define the session ID as you have and continue on with your life.

Good luck
