RE: [PHP3] Sessions, please anyone? Very urgent! From: A Robertson (elite2000 <email protected>)

Hi,
You don't say what session system you are using (PHP4, PHPlib, your own etc)
but I hit this problem using PHPLib with IE5. Seems to be that IE is showing
you the cached (not logged in) page instead of properly refreshing to the
logged in page.

Try sticking every no caching header you can think of at the top of each
page, worked for me. Sorry I dont have the code handy but a search of this
lists archive will turn up what you need.
