in application/config/config.php change the session cookie name to cisessions IE does not like the underscore
expire has to be an int not a string!
Code:
'expire' => 2410000
// example
'expire' => time() + 900InsiteFX

I just tested this on my Windows 7 Pro running IE9 switched to IE8 and IE7 modes doing a refresh and the cookie shows up in my developer tools!
Code:
$cookie = array(
'name' => 'Projects',
'value' => '325',
'expire' => '2410000'
);
$this->input->set_cookie($cookie);InsiteFX

why not just use regular php instead of CI? this would be faster and validating a cookie is as easy as going isset();
Code:
setcookie('projects' , '325' , time() + 3600);
function get_cookies($name)
{
if (!isset($_COOKIE[$name]))
{
return(FALSE);
}
else
{
isset($_COOKIE[$name])
{
return htmlspecialchars($_COOKIE[$name]);
}
}

Thanks i got it to work i forgot the single quotes around the time now it works just fine!
thx much for your time!
and Jgetner that was my next step if i couldn't get this to work so thx for trying to help
and as far as why use CI because get_cookie('cookie_name'); is just so much easier for me
