[PHPLIB] sessions and IE vs Navigator From: Tyler Jones (tjones <email protected>)
Date: 11/09/99

I'm experiencing a problem that I can't find a solution for in the
documentation.

I'm using sessions, auth and perm. In Navigator I have no problems.
Here's the oddity. When user logs in with IE the first time, no
problems. But after he logs out and attempts logging in again, he is
sometimes forced to enter user name and pass twice -- once establishes a
session id, second time lets user enter the auth-ed page. But this isn't
always the case. Sometimes he can log in fine the second time, but I
think it's under the same session id. Here's why I think that.

If I log out as a user and attempt to log back in as a different user in
IE, I get in no problem, but when I log out, I notice that the user name
and perm setting is that of previous user. That tells me that the
session id is not being destroyed. But this is not a problem in
Navigator.

I've tried delete() and put_id(), but I may not be utilizing it
correctly.

Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this problem?

BTW, this same issue appears in the example pages included with the lib.

Here's what I want to happen:

1. User goes to auth'ed page and the page initiates a session id. User
is forced to log in.
2. User is ready to log out, so by clicking logout, he exits and the
session id is destroyed.
3. User is ready to log back in, either as same user or different user
on same browser. He goes to the auth'ed page and it creates a NEW
session id and user is forced to log in. The cycle repeats itself as
many times as users log in and out.

thanks,
Tyler
