The string 'false' is no DNS... expire should be an integer, here it's
false cast to 0, which PHP forgives you. I suspect (haven't checked it)
that Opera & Mozilla repair your broken domain, and MSIE doesn't.

What about:
setcookie ($name,$value,0 ,'/');
Or if you want to be explicit:
setcookie ($name,$value,0 ,'/',$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],false);

Still without change, under Opera and Mozzilla works but under IE no.
I dont know why ...

Perhaps a security feature of MSIE.

Could you install Fiddler, and give us the exact contents of the
SetCookie: header when requesting the page with MSIE?

are you using a FQDM or just a domain that looks like localhost or
mydevbox
cookies as per rfc should always use FQDN's - instead set the domain
to NULL and it should work then

I tried all what you wrote, but with no effect. I really dont know
where the problem could be... Maybe something with domain, but how to
fix it?

i agree with rik, installing fiddler would at least tell you whether
the cookies were being sent to IE. After all if the server is sending
them, you have eliminated one of your suspects.

maybe the problem is on viewing of cookie? i am using script

$webreg = getcookie("webreg");

function getcookie($name)
{
if (isset($_COOKIE[$name]))
return $_COOKIE[$name];
return FALSE;
}

i think its ok, opera and mozzilla get cookie, but IE no. what is ur
opinion?

I'd have a look at the Internet Options within IE to see if it is
blocking the cookies.
