session-scope object "disappears " in IE6 but not Firefox

HL
Hi,

I have a small application that authenticates the user and stores the
credentials and other identity info in a session-scope object. After
browsing a few pages, that session-scope object would disappear, causing the
user to be routed back to the login page.

The funny thing is, this phenomenon only happens in IE, but not in Firefox
(run on the same machine). I tested again and again, and the problem is
predictable and reproducible. If this comes from bad coding or server
mis-configuration, I couldn't understand why it only happens to IE. It also
seems as if IE is losing the session cookie. (I already tried changing the
security settings to allow ALL cookies, but the same thing happend.)

The page navigation doesn't use javascript. On the server, a base page class
is checking the session-scope identity object. If it is null, then the
server would redirect the user to the login page.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Henry

Using PHP 4.3.4, I have a problem where some web pages appear and the links all have PHPSESSID=4094c333eb638b1e8c25632212079e05 attached to them. The HTML code itself does not have this text. Also, this behavior quickly disappears after the first few clicks of browsing. The site in question is located at http://www.havenbaptist.org/

Someone please tell me if I've discovered a PHP bug. I'm sitting in front of several computers on my home network, behind a NAT firewall/router.

When you have a session going, I know that PHP stores a session token on the client, but does it keep the session *data* on the client, as well? Or is the session data being stored on the server, and just indexed to the session token data?

Hey guys, I'm building an application wich should be used by other websites inside an iFrame. My app stores some sessionvariables, but sometimes in IE (6 and 7) IIS seems to restart the session on each pageload. It does this when I post the page, or request the page, no matter what. My sessionId is changing, wich prevents me from storing for example a shoppingcart in the users session. Weirdest thing is that it works fine in Firefox (never...

Greetings, I was wondering if anyone here has a good understaning of the Session object. I know there are options like the Session.Abandon method and the regenerateExpiredSessionId setting, although I do not understand what they do. Can anyone tell me if it's possible for a recycled session to still contain the old data? I had a couple of reports that where users said they logged on and saw another user's data. On this site, there...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
