WampServer

I have a webhost running in my home network, just installed WAMP5 and it all runs very good, BUT

when I open my website locally on the pc (127.0.01) then I can create cookies, but when I try to access the website from an other pc in the network then I can't... explorer options are set to allow all cookies so thats not the problem.

The website needs to work with cookies, so no session solution for me

if anyone knows a fix for this its greatly appreciated

make sure you allow cookies in IE for both 127.0.0.1 and your website domain. try this in another browser and see if you get the same results.

This is the piece of the sourcecode on the login page where the cookie is needed.
This works on every free webserver I ever tried, but it doesn't work on my own webserver...

$strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tbl_user WHERE loginName='$user'";
$rsUser = mysql_query($strSQL, $cnn);
if(mysql_num_rows($rsUser) >= 1)
{
$rowUser = mysql_fetch_array($rsUser);
if($pass == $rowUser["Pass"])
{
if($rowUser["Val"] == 0){
$err = "Account needs to be activated";
}
else{
setcookie("Login", $rowUser["ID"], time()+7200, "/~rasmus/", ".utoronto.ca", 1);
if(!isset($_COOKIE["Login"])){
$err .= "<br />Cookie not created";
}
}
}
else
{
$err = "Wrong password";
}
}
else
{
$err = "No such user";
}

change:
setcookie("Login", $rowUser["ID"], time()+7200, "/~rasmus/", ".utoronto.ca", 1);

to
setcookie("Login", $rowUser["ID"], time()+7200, "/~rasmus/", "localhost", 1);

if your local directory structure is different then your webserver, you will need to change the path setting /~rasmus/ to the location on your local server.

Oh yea that was a attempt to make it work again

didn't work that way, and didn't work with just setcookie("Login", $rowUser["ID"], time()+7200)
but i'll try to change it in the morning, to late to try now
