Yes, there are quotes there. If you remove the quotes, the cookie doesn't not set itself. People have been commenting on this under your setcookie function information.
The cookie will not actually initializate if you remove the quotes!! -----Original Message----- From: Bug Database [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 9:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Bug #14255 Updated: setcookie bug (Cookie is destroyed/Inaccessible) ATTENTION!

The line was as follows : setcookie ("myCookie","Blah","time()+7201"); The cookie should be set for just over 2 hours. In 4.0.6, If you set the cookie, the time you set is never actually used, and the cookie is destroyed immediately after you close the browser window. Another downside, you cannot access this cookie from another window even if the original window is open. this sounds like an exclusive window session is linked to that cookie, and once the uplink is dropped, so is the cookie. To access the cookie, i've been using : $mycookie = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[myCookie]; it will show up in the original window, but not in others. at all! what's up?! :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
