PHP session doesn't work with IE

Question

I have a site made with php which uses server side sessions throughout the site.
In fact, it\'s a site with a user login which depends on session variables and if there

Answer 1

I thought some people might find the solution to this problem interesting. Fiddler certainly helped here. Thanks to Fiddler, I could see that I was, in fact, hitting the page main.php (thus setting the session variable moments after setting it on the target page), but the server was defaulting there after getting a 302 on the root of the site. This was all happening silently in the background, and before my onload="" javascript ran.

So I was sure something on those pages was causing an error, but not a catastrophic one.

here it is:

IE was freaking out about the blank src attribute and hitting the server root and the defaulting to page main. I don't fully understand the mechanics happening here. I also don't understand if this is how IE is supposed to behave (it is a malformed img tag after all) or not. Is this a bug?
