    Hello rdlrn19,

    IE7 doesn't save cookies with short expiration times. eg: 30 mins, 1 hour, etc. So change your cookie expiry time to 1 day cookie and it will work fine with every browser. IE7 doesn't save short time expire cookies.

    There's no such thing as a "PHP cookie". PHP creates cookies using the http header protocol, and the cookies are not different than any other cookie created any other way.

    you must not use cookies in storing valuable variables, please use session for this..
    in storing usernames, passwords, etc.theres no point in altering or controlling the behavior of a cookie in every browser, because that is a security feature for every browser.
