What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution: security image, session cookie

Write your message below:
First of all a great script, simple but effective.
There's only one problem, in FireFox 2 the security image appearce after a refresh of the browser and in internet explorer 7 it dosn't show at all.

So in IE7 I cannot post a message at all and in FF2 after a refresh.
My script is running on a different server than where the web site I am linking from thats www.westenesch.nl/test see menu item gastenboek

I read that because of the session cookies it couldn't work like this but why can it work in FF (after a refresh) and not in IE7 (with or without a refresh)

Is something set wronly can I correct it myselff or must the host correct some items in the php configuration?

Kind regards

[edit-1]
Or to avoid this problem can I deactived the "security image" field. And where can I do this, I couldnot find an option for it in the settings.php

[edit-2]
To avoid this problem in FF2 and IE7 I deactivated the smilies and for the text "security image" I ask my visitirs to press F5 to do a refresh of their browser. Next to that I put the main index file to the same server as the guestbook. Now i'ts working after the refresh, somehow the session cookies are not working as they should do. It's not the most neat solution but for now its working. But still ";m waiting for a better solution.......who can help!

Nowbody an idea how to overcome this (I think) cookie problem
Also entering the guestbook directly dosn't solve this problem, a refresh is still needed. When i'm entering the demo on this site its working instantly whithout refresh or other tricks.

kind regards

Try adding to top of gbook.php and print_sec_img.php, just after the <?php

Upload, close all browser windows and see if it helps.

Hi,

Not sure what is wrong. I see your host has an extension called Suhosin which seems to modify the way sessions and cookies work. Not sure if this is causing problems, but it could be.

You can try if this makes any difference:

If not you can try disabling the security image by setting $settings['autosubmit'] to 0.

Sorry I can't be of more help here. I will try to test the Suhosin extension myself over the weekend to see if this is causing problems.

Klemen

I'll try your suggestions later on this evening and report it back asap.
This weekend I'm away for a short holiday so I cannot test anything else anyway, so take your time to look what the plugin does (I believe it's some kind of antispam/hacker tool)

Kind regads

These modifications did the trick
It's working smoothly now, in IE7 as well as in FF2.
Thanks and have a nice weekend

I came to the following solution:

I've added an "id" to the img tag and then I set the src attribute again with javascript. I seems to work fine in FF and IE7 (I can't test IE6 because the one I have for testing doesn't admit cookies). This is a way to refresh the image without refreshing the entire page.

<p><img id="imgSecurityCode" src="print_sec_img.php" width="100" height="20" alt="'.$lang['t62'].'" style="border-style:solid; border-color:#000000; border-width:1px" /><br />
'.$lang['t56'].' <input type="text" name="mysecnum" size="10" maxlength="5" /></p>
<script type="text/javascript">document.getElementById("imgSecurityCode").src = "'print_sec_img.php?nocache='.time().'";</script>

I hope it helps.
