cookies and iframes and php, oh my

[phpman]

here is a good one. I have a page called say something.html

in this page is a iframe calling a php script from a different site.

like so

http://www.differentsite.com/php/sho...p&bg=%23FFFFFF

and in that shop2.php is a setcookie() function

$cookietimeout = time()+(3600*24*365);
if($_GET["partner"]){
    $value = $_GET["partner"];
    setcookie("REFERRALCOOKIE",$value,$cookietimeout); 

now here is the question. the cookie works for all browsers except IE. can anybody tell me why it doesn't work for IE. I have IE 6 too.

the cookie just doesn't get set.

well since this forum seems to be dead now, I mena nobody helps anybody anymore...

anyway if anybody desides to look into this I found the answer. you need to impliment the p3p privacy protection

I looked, I just didn't know the answer Sorry!

thanks Rick, at least you tried.

I forgot to add that IE was not accepting third part cookies since the cooky was coming from a different domain. so adding the p3p it was allowed to accept them when IE's settings were in medium zone.
