PHP - session problems

[maarek]

Hi.

I have session_start () on all pages. Then I go to credit card accepting system, pay there and when I am back on my site I have my session lost. It is working in IE but in firefox and opera not. Any ideas why?

Thank you, Marek.

Seems to just be browser issues, which seems to confuse me because PHP is a Server Side Scripting Language, but here is a tip, when you leave a website the session dies...you may want to try using cookies, or use passwords, like if they pay right, and when they comeback, send them an email of their "unique pass" so that way they can see whatever or do whatever...

hopefuly that helps

Use Cookie.Or pass a parm to credit card accepting system,when payment is completed,it can identify you.Like IPN.

I have always had a hunch that IE uses java to find someones IP address, and opera etc use a host lookup function (so addresses in IE remain the same whilst others change frequently).
But it definitely is a borwser issue or possibly a firewall issue.
