Heey people, in the following code my session is not working in IE. i dont know why cause to me there is nothing wrong.

browser.php // here php looks for on what browser your opening the page on:

<?php
session_start();


if ( strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Gecko') )
{
   if ( strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Netscape') )
   {
     $browser = 'Netscape ';
   }
   else if ( strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Firefox') )
   {
     $browser = 'Firefox';
   }
   else if(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Chrome'))
   {
       $browser = 'Chrome';
   }
   else if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Safari'))
   {
     $browser = 'Safari';
   }
}
else if ( strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') )
{
   if ( strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Opera') )
   {
     $browser = 'Opera ';
   }
   else
   {   
     $browser = 'Explorer';
   }

}
else
{
   $browser = 'Others browsers';
}


$_SESSION['Ibrowser'] = $browser;
?>

Print.php // this is a page where i want to print a pdf due to an iFrame

IE has issues with cookies and handling iFrames due to P3P (Platform for Privacy Preferences). One solution I found is to include this header in every page that uses cookies:

header('P3P:CP="IDC DSP COR ADM DEVi TAIi PSA PSD IVAi IVDi CONi HIS OUR IND CNT"');

Give that a try and let me know how it goes.
