Browser Problems, Maybe? - Firefox vs IE

Daehawk
Alright, I coded something the other day for the game I am working on making, and a few of my friends I allowed to get on it and test things out. Well....the ones that were on IE their characters were made but the User variable as in which account they were on just stayed blank, while with my friends that were on Firefox, everything worked fine and they could play perfectly...


So I was wondering, with PHP sql codes being sent to the database, is there something special you have to do to make it work on both, or could it be a setting on the IE that was messing with it...


Ideas?

No, php and mysql are (of course) compatible with every browser..wrong variables could make differences though

what kind of user variables are you using? sessions or setcookies?

I am not sure, but i know that multiple setcookies can give problems with redirects (wich basically "reload") it's a bug, but was only tested in ie and netscape, maybe mozilla doesn't have this problem, IF you got multiple setcookies, i suggest you use sessions, as they should work properly (setcookies are dramatic, the only thing setcookie should be used for is "remember" login, and even that can be avoided..)

As HmmZ said, PHP is compatible with every browser. It is a server side script, which means that when you say on your browser http://www.yoursitehere.com, the server which hosts your site will automatically make the php page into html, which is read by all browsers.

The problem could be either with your coding, or with any Javascript you may be using (I had this same problem, I was coding a PHP rpg type game, and it used some javascript to open and close boxes, worked fine in Firefox but not in IE). Maybe you can post the code here so we can take a look?

Yeah, it was the whole setcookies thing, But yeah, I am using Java + Php on the game >.>


Have one new problem now that, I think I know why it is doing it...but just want to make sure, if I can't fix it myself...I will post it in here.

I am getting that atm...didn't have a problem when I was using cookies, so the question is. From what I have looked up and other responses to this problem, most of them say that the provider might not support sessions....I think sessions are supported here right?

be sure session_start() is the very first thing in your script

<?php
session_start();

if that's done be sure there are no blanc lines before <?php
(this means no html codes and no empty lines)

as a confirm i see that the error occurs on line 3, meaning your session_start(); is on line 3, should be line 2

hope this helps

...wow that's all that was wrong with it >.> stupid session things. Right now I don't have any major bugs in the game...but was wondering if there was a good bug tester to find anything that could be abused or hacked into before I release the game to alpha.
