Safari browser will not accept my cookie it is ignoring it? have I done
something wrong with how the cookie is presented for safari??? The cookie I
try to set: setcookie('peg', 'YES', 'time()+190', '', 0); Also all browsers
are starting my phpsession off when its not even declared until after the
post request? Can someone please help and tell me why my session is getting
set, as when I go to the page I can see that the php session is being set as
I check the cookies it has the phpsession there? Totally puzzled? Here is my
code <? // Include the connections script to make a database connection.
include("inc/connect.php"); $username = ""; $password = ""; $errorMessage =
""; function quote_smart($value, $handle) { if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$value = stripslashes($value); } if (!is_numeric($value)) { $value = "'" .
mysql_real_escape_string($value, $handle) . "'"; } return $value; } if
($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){ $username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password']; $username = htmlspecialchars($username);
$password = htmlspecialchars($password); $db_found = mysql_select_db($db,
$connection); if ($db_found) { $username = quote_smart($username,
$connection); $password = quote_smart($password, $connection); $SQL =
"SELECT * FROM tablea WHERE username = $username AND password =
'".md5($_POST['password'])."'"; $result = mysql_query($SQL); $num_rows =
mysql_num_rows($result); if ($result) { if ($num_rows > 0) {
session_start(); $_SESSION['username'] = "$_POST[username]"; header
("Location: index.html"); } /* New Block Log in attempts*/ else {
session_start(); $_SESSION['attempts'] = "+1"; # setup SQL statement $SQL =
" INSERT INTO tableb "; $SQL = $SQL . " (sid, username, password, attempts,
ipaddress) VALUES "; $SQL = $SQL . " ('$_COOKIE[PHPSESSID]',
'$_POST[username]', '$_POST[password]', '$_SESSION[attempts]',
'$_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]') "; #execute SQL statement $result = mysql_db_query(
*****,"$SQL",$connection ); # check for error if (!$result) { echo("ERROR: "
.. mysql_error() . "\n$SQL\n"); } else { # setup SQL statement 2 $SQL =
"SELECT * FROM tableb WHERE sid = '$_COOKIE[PHPSESSID]' "; $result =
mysql_query($SQL); if (mysql_num_rows($result) ==0) { $errorMessage =
"Please check your username and/or password is correct"; } elseif
(mysql_num_rows($result) >=3) { header ("Location: index2.html"); } else {
$errorMessage = "Please check your username and/or password is correct"; } }
} /* END */ } else { $errorMessage = "Please check your username and/or
password is correct"; } mysql_close($connection); } else { $errorMessage =
"Please check your username and/or password is correct"; } } ?>

Its only happening in safari with the cookie not being set. It must be my
cookie string that is the problem. I just cannot find anything on the issue.

My other major issue is the fact that the session is being set when the post
has not even been declared, its just setting the session?

Hai
I think it is a problem with the safari
And also check whether u r sending any html tags before ur sending the
cookies. The other case could be with ur browser
Goto preferences ->security->accept cookies in d browser and check the
button always and then exit browser
Now check that
Regarding ur second problem session starting before posting the vales
it is might be coz of the old session that is existing whenu ran last
time so do some thing like delete all cookies and sessions from the
browser and try also make sure that u dont have a session start in the
database connection php file

Can you try removing the quotes from around the expire parameter.

setcookie('peg', 'YES', time()+190, '', 0);
