I've run in to this problem - first noticing this with PHP Nuke. This cookie problem seems to be a result of a server configuration issue with the Windows operating system.
At work I have 2 Win-2k servers, both running PHP 4.3.2, our production web-server can set cookies no problem. On our dev-web server, cookies can not be set. This is cause of the "admin loop" error of PHP Nuke - if you're doing any reading on the forums. This is web-server independant, you'll notice if you install Apache on the system, you will have the same issue of cookies not being set. Now, something I will try is setting Apache up in CGI mode to see if that has the same problems?
Internet explorer 5.0 should work for you, however versions of 5.5+ (and some of the other browsers such as Opera), require a domain to
be set as part of the cookie, and as such error out.
I've been tracking this problem on our dev server for a while, and it seems to be part of the Win 2k hardening proceedures that Microsoft
recommends. Using the exact same PHP configuration on the exact same web-servers (same patch levels to the T), one works and one does not

Hi everybody:
I have php 4.3.2 running as a isapi module on WinXP with IIS 5.1. When I run the following script:
setcookie("auth_login",$cookie_val['auth_login'],time() + 3600); or setcookie("auth_level",$cookie_val['auth_level'],time() + 3600);
it fails to set the cookie in browsers different of netscape navigator. ie opera or internet explorer. nevertheless it works localy with internet explorer. I have check all kind of privacy settings in this browsers and it remains the same... does someone have a clue about this?
Thanks in advance
Mark
