Sessions not working in IE 7

[eluser]Ignacio[/eluser]
Thanks! Thanks! without "_" works on IE7 now. Thanks! Stupid bug, IE7 really really suck, oh sheesh!

You might reread this thread closely, Ignacio, the underscore causing a problem is an indirect symptom, not the cause.

[eluser]Ignacio[/eluser]
Yes, Derek you right, but I must say that the underscore thing fix my problem on IE7.
Great framework by the way Derek, I have a little "wishlist", but I know that will become true soon.

Bye!

I also had this issue and removing the underscore fixed the problem for me. CI Version 1.7, with default session settings. Thanks to austindev for posting fix.

By the way, the problem wasn't present in IE version 7.0.5730.13, but was in version 7.0.5730.11.

My two cents (after wasting a few hours trying to log in using IE):

With regards to codeigniter cookies, IE7 does not like underscores in DOMAIN NAMES, as reported earlier in this thread. The underscore in the cookie name ci_session does not appear to be a problem.

Fortunately I only had an underscore in my test setup domain name. But I should have known better. Normally speaking you won't be allowed to register a domain name with an underscore in it to my knowledge.

But it was a good excuse to upgrade from CI 1.61 to 1.71 in my attempts to kill this dragon.

Where did you remove the underscore from?

[eluser]BD-CI-Programmer[/eluser]

Code:

$config['sess_cookie_name']        = 'ci_sessions';
$config['sess_expiration']        = 36000;
$config['sess_encrypt_cookie']    = TRUE;
$config['sess_use_database']    = FALSE;
$config['sess_table_name']        = 'ci_sessions';
$config['sess_match_ip']        = FALSE;
$config['sess_match_useragent']    = TRUE;
$config['sess_time_to_update']     = 300;

My new code

Code:

$config['sess_cookie_name']        = 'cisessions';
$config['sess_expiration']        = 36000;
$config['sess_encrypt_cookie']    = TRUE;
$config['sess_use_database']    = FALSE;
$config['sess_table_name']        = 'cisessions';
$config['sess_match_ip']        = FALSE;
$config['sess_match_useragent']    = TRUE;
$config['sess_time_to_update']     = 300;

Please reply me very soon. I need this solution very ursent

Ok, what version of CI are you on and what is the domain name of the site that you are experiencing problems with (does it contain an underscore)?
