murfitUK Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Me again.Right - I'm practising with cookies. It all works fine on firefox but not on IE6. I reckon I've changed some setting on IE6 to block cookies and now can't find how to enable them again.At the moment the site is on my computer - using Abyss web server, and WinmySqladmin and PHP4 (I think). The address I type in is http://localhost/website/index.phpAs I said, it works in FF but not IE6 so do you think there is a setting I need to change in IE6?

justsomeguy Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 That's funny, I can't find any settings for that either. Go figure..You can check for the cookie yourself though. In your user folder under Documents and Settings, there is a cookie folder where IE keeps everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murfitUK Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 Its definitely to do with IE6 reading pages from localhost. I uploaded the site to my web hosting space and tried it again. The cookies work over the internet but not from localhost.I'll start looking through internet option again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 If you are setting the domain when you set the cookie, localhost is not a valid domain. If you leave the domain empty, it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
