Bug description: COOKIE BUG - VAR NAME IN NAME FIELD CUTS OFF AT A VALUE IF ANY WHEN
OUTPUT.
Description:
------------
Cookies:
I found that you can use multiple cookies, but a bug is preventing me from
numbering my cookies using a counter.
Example:
setcookie("This_1_cookie","Testing 1");
As you can see here, the "1" represents a counter, but in this case, there
are no $variables in its place; this will output perfect.
Now, take a number or any string with a number in it, and pop it in
there.
$i = 1;
$MyCookieName="This_$i_cookie";
setcookie($MyCookieName,"Testing 1");
If you have done exactly as above, you will see the following name in your
Cookie file: This_
It cuts off right before the number..
But if you tried the one at the top, you will notice the entire string is
there.
Why is this an issue?
Reproduce code:
---------------
$NewCount=CartCount+1;
# NewCount should be 1 now.. if not, you can make it 1.
setcookie ("CartCount", $NewCount, time()+259200);
$newcookie="Quantity[1] ItemName[$ItemName]
ItemDescription[$ItemDescription] ItemPrice[$ItemPrice] ItemTax[$ItemTax]
ItemShipping[$ItemShipping]";
$CookieName="Cookie_$NewCount_Name";
# Even if $NewCount was empty, it should still fill in the cookie name
with "Cookie__Name" But it doesn't.. It cuts off before the numeric.. BUT
ONLY WHEN USING A VAR! I HATE THIS!
setcookie ($CookieName, $newcookie, time()+259200);
echo "NEW CART ITEM [$NewCount] <br>$newcookie";
}
Expected result:
----------------
In your temporary internet files, you will notice that the COOKIE'S NAME
will be cut off before the number, making it impossible to write a number
field to a string without SetCookie realizing (I have no idea why, but I
can't get it to work..) that it is not something other than a typed
string.
Can you guys figure out why I get this bug?
Is there a fix?
Actual result:
--------------
Cookie_
Quantity%5B1%5D+ItemName%5Bnnnnnnn%5D+ItemDescription%5BThe+Item+is+Tall%5D+ItemPrice%5B45%5D+ItemTax%5B5%5D+ItemShipping%5B15%5D%BB
