Codeigniter Session not working in IE and Safari

Question

It seems like Codeigniter session is not working in ie & safari. Any one else has faced the same problem?

Is there any solution about this?

<?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Test extends CI_Controller {

    var $user;

    public function __construct(){
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function index(){
        $this->session->set_userdata('test', 'denis');
        var_dump($this->session->all_userdata());
    }

    public function test2(){
        var_dump($this->session->all_userdata());

        phpinfo();
    }
}

response for http://mydomain.com/test

array(5) { ["session_id"]=> string(32) "47d3fec20fc0360ae19994bad84294ba" ["ip_address"]=> string(10) "172.16.1.1" ["user_agent"]=> string(68) "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko" ["last_activity"]=> string(10) "1392434286" ["test"]=> string(5) "denis" }

response for http://mydomain.com/test/test2

array(4) { ["session_id"]=> string(32) "5c38c5bc9e1fea7990962fad7626dbd5" ["ip_address"]=> string(10) "172.16.1.1" ["user_agent"]=> string(68) "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko" ["last_activity"]=> string(10) "1392434287" }

It doesn't store the cookie, the session is empty.

Don't post pictures of your code, post textual code snippets. — Mark, Feb 15 '14 at 09:27

Denis - if you have not renamed the cookie in config/config.php for sure do what Reena suggested -- remove the underscore from the default cookie name (and optionally you can name it anything you want). an underscore in a cookie name is a known bug for older versions of IE . — cartalot, Feb 15 '14 at 22:27

$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session'; to $config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'cisession';

Just Found the problem:

It wasn't codeigniter bug. The problem was on my linux server configuration.

The hwclock was not coresponding with the date time, and this was causing the session problem on ie & safari...

Thanks for your answer.

my code works fine in IE, Firefox, Chrome etc, but not safari.

It looks like safari block the session to work.

Then I found My server's hardware time and system time are not right.

Then:

[root@new55 ~]# ntpdate 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org 
[root@new55 ~]# hwclock -w

Everything is fine now.

Thanks again.
