IE8 session/cookie problem - SOLVED

[quote author="InsiteFX" date="1375871527"]1) IE does not like an underscore char _ it converts it to something else and will always cause your sessions to fail!

2) You have to go into IE tools on the menu and change the cookie settings, to allow session cookies.

1) I'm aware of the underline error but my cookie name have nothing but 4 letters as it's name.

2) To recommend a developer to change a browser setting in order for some code to work, is just the wrong thing to say, please stop. Some of us deploy real world applications where this kind of procedure is just not an option at all.

--------------------------

I have to debug a little more, but I believe my problem to be my cookie name:

Code:

$config['cookie_domain'] = ".mydomain.com";

I need this cookie to be available for the main domain and for the subdomains as well, so I did as CI told me.

Code:

| 'cookie_domain' = Set to .your-domain.com for site-wide cookies

Other than this, there's no apparent reason for the session error on IE8, I believe. (I have yet to test on IE9+ as well, but since IE8 is required on this project, I have to start from here. Also, Chrome, Safari, Opera, FF, are all working as expected).

I have to try ivantcholakov library yet.

Any other option guys? I have tested the "native-library" "OB session" and some other obscure code like adding header parameters on every controller and things like these.
