PHPSESSID not being saved to cookie

Question

the PHPSESSID variable that holds the session id is not being saved into the client cookie. This results in a new session id being generated every time I call the ses

Answer 1

The same thing happened to me, I couldn't log in to my users in Safari and Mac Os browsers, not even Firefox, only on Chrome (pc, not Mac). The reason turned out to be a combination, in php.ini, of

1. session.cookie_lifetime=0
2. session.cookie_domain=mydomain

Where 0 I changed to 3600 (reasonable) as said by Shea and "mydomain" was (all my fault) wrong because it was missing the ".com", the right name of the domain!

So I ended up changing the config to

1. session.cookie_lifetime=3600
2. session.cookie_domain=mydomain.com
