Re: [PHP] loosing session in new window (IE only) [SOLVED]



this is happening when Security on IE (internet options) is on levels "High" or "Block all cookies.."
most likely there is a solution to fix this but I think (in my case) is not worth and it's much easier to tell client (their administrator) to "trust the world" a little bit more
:D

thanks for all posts.
