    Changes required to

    admin/includes/functions/general.php
    includes/functions/functions_general.php

    In both files the function zen_get_top_level_domain should be replaced with the following

    PHP Code:
      function zen_get_top_level_domain($url) {
        if (
    strpos($url'://')) {
          
    $url parse_url($url);
          
    $url $url['host'];
        }
        
    $domain_array explode('.'$url);
        
    $domain_size sizeof($domain_array);
        if (
    $domain_size 1) {
          if (
    SESSION_USE_FQDN == 'True') return $url;
          if (
    is_numeric($domain_array[$domain_size-2]) && is_numeric($domain_array[$domain_size-1])) {
            return 
    false;
          } else {
            
    $tld "";             
            foreach (
    $domain_array as $dPart)
            {
              if (
    $dPart != "www"$tld $tld "." $dPart;
            }
            return 
    substr($tld1);
          }
        } else {
          return 
    false;
        }
      } 
    Changes to
    admin/includes/init_includes/init_sessions.php
    includes/init_includes/init_sessions.php

    in both files replace the line that reads
    Code:
    session_set_cookie_params(0, '/', (zen_not_null($current_domain) ? $current_domain : ''));
    with
    Code:
    session_set_cookie_params(0, '/', (zen_not_null($current_domain) ? "." . $current_domain : ''));
    This code forgets that init_includes/init_tlds.php prefixes a dot to $current_domain if SESSION_USE_FQDN is turned off, so that you would end up with two dots initially.

    This may be going slightly off-topic in the sense that I have some questions that are a little broader than IE8, but they relate to this issue of cookie domains. RFC 2109, which specifies cookies, states that if an explicit domain is specified in a cookie, it must begin with a dot. Why then does Zen Cart have SESSION_USE_FQDN turned on by default? And do any browsers have a problem with a ".www" prefix (note the initial dot)? That seems both useless and odd to me (how often do you have a subdomain in front of "www"?), so maybe there are some browsers that would reject it? My sense is that, in general, it's best to either not explicitly specify a domain, or if you do, leave out the "www" and put an initial dot.

    Default Re: sometimes ie8 add to cart doesn't work on my site

    hi,

    Thanks for reminding me about the leading '.' problem. I'll tweak the code to take account of that and repost.

    On your more general point. The main reason that Zen Cart is set to use the Fully Qualified Domain Name by default is related to shared servers and specifically shared SSL set ups.

    With a shared SSL set up the domain names tends to be somethingg like.

    http://www.mydomain.com/
    https://mydomain.secure.com/

    In this instance you DO NOT want to drop a cookie on the partial domain name i.e. .secure.com, as it is then readable by any other users of the shared SSL.

    Also having a leading . on a www domain should cause no problems, and as you point out RFC2109 states you must have one. However its my experience that most browsers (safari and firefox certainly do) will automatically prepend the . if it isn't there in the first place.

    Does there need to be any updates to this code for the leading '.' problem? Is it an issue? The code is the same in 1.3.9 so it hasn't been tweaked. Just curious. Thanks.

    There have been more specific changes made to the cookie code in the new v1.3.9 release.

    We would be grateful if anyone who has direct experience of the IE8 issues would give the new code a try and report back.

    See release announcement here

    I just wanted to add this code to my 1.3.8a install. I am not in a position to be able to upgrade a test copy of my shop to 1.3.9. Probably be another week before I can devote time for that.

    I just want to make sure that the code you originally posted (post 30) is ok to add to 1.3.8a without any tweaks for a leading . issue as you said you would make later (in response to CA_ZCUser) and update the code. Thanks.

    jolla, if the site ended up blank after you made edits, then you made your edits incorrectly, resulting in PHP errors causing the blank page.

    As for "any possibility to have the amended code?", the v1.3.9 code is freely available for download now. You can find the link on the Zen Cart home page.
