Rather than me explain the problem, read this exchange of emails between my
web host and myself, then tell me what I can tell them!
I had a problem with their admin site all day, and after me saying "can't
log in", and them saying "nothing wrong", I sent the following:
------------------------------------------------------
> Found it! Tried it with 3 browsers now (IE, Opera, Firefox), and the
> result is that I've just discovered a problem with your site...
> It sets a cookie, PHPSESSID, with a value. If I get timed out or log out,
> I cannot log in again.
> If I delete that cookie, I can.
> Try this: login, log out, try and log in again - doesn't work.
> Close window, try and log in again. - works.
> In other words, no matter what browser, you cannot log into the site again
> once logged out.
------------------------------------------------------
To which they replied
------------------------------------------------------
> Hi
> We already know that the Members Area works in this way.
>
> As you say, we are using a PHP Session ID and this is the way they work.
>
> Nobody else has reported that this is a problem for them.
>
> I guess in due course, it may be something that PHP themselves might want
> to
> look into.
------------------------------------------------------
Now if that isn't passing the buck, I don't know what is!!
