Bug description: PHP can't set cookies after a test with an unset variable
PHP can't set cookies on Windows 2000 systems after testing a non-existing
variable.
This problem was reported in the following conditions:
- Windows 2000 server SP-3 (IIS not installed)
- Apache v2.0.43 (confirmed on Apache v1.3.27 as well)
- PHP 4.3.0 (confirmed on 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 as well)
The problem happens with Windows 2000 only. On Windows 98 with the very
same configuration, or on Linux, everything works fine.
Try the following code:
<?
# $test="X";
setcookie("debug","1",time()+60*60*24*30,"","");
if ($test=="") {setcookie("debug","2",time()+60*60*24*30,"","");}
setcookie("debug","3",time()+60*60*24*30,"","");
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>w2k/PHP setcookie bug test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
BEGIN<BR>
<?
echo "Cookie: [".$_COOKIE["debug"]."] (HIT RELOAD)<BR>";
?>
END<BR>
</BODY>
</HTML>
When $test is not set, the cookie "debug" remains set to 1, while when
$test is set to any value (including "", an empty string), cookie will be
eventually properly set to 3.
