I am trying to issue a cookie, using the set cookie directive, and it is not
working for some reason. The code below I have used before with perfect
success. The only difference between the other place that I am using it is
that the other place has globals on, this server has globals off (tho I
turned them on a and it made no difference), and the other server is running
4.3.2 where this one is 4.3.0
I am sure that it is something small that I missed when copying the code
over, but I cannot for the life of me see what it is. The only other
difference is the other server is using a domain name, while the server this
code is on is an IP address only (that should not make a difference tho)
Why is the cookie not being isseued? I am going nuts trying to figure this
out!
$ADMIN_COOKIE_NAME="scavengeradmin"; //name of the issuing cookie
$COOKIE_EXPIRY=1800; //time in seconds to expiry
function adminCookie() {
global $ADMIN_COOKIE_NAME,$COOKIE_EXPIRY;
//check to see if a cookie exists already.
$cookieid=$_COOKIE[$ADMIN_COOKIE_NAME];
//if there is no cookieid - then we are going to set a cookie.
if(strlen($cookieid) < 1) {
//find a unique value.
list($msec,$sec)=explode(" ",microtime());
$cookiekey=ereg_replace("\.","",($msec+$sec));
//set expiry - 30 mins from now.
$cookieexpiry=time()+$COOKIE_EXPIRY;
setcookie($ADMIN_COOKIE_NAME,$cookiekey,$cookieexpiry,"/",$_SERVER["HTTP_HOS
T"],0);
$_COOKIE[$ADMIN_COOKIE_NAME]=$cookiekey;
unset($cookiekey);unset($msec);unset($sec);unset($cookieexpiry);
} else {
//if the cookie has been set then we are just going to adjust the
expiry date.
//set expiry - 30 mins from now.
$cookieexpiry=time()+$COOKIE_EXPIRY;
setcookie($ADMIN_COOKIE_NAME,"$cookieid",$cookieexpiry,"/",$_SERVER["HTTP_HO
ST"],0);
unset($cookieexpiry);
}
unset($cookieid);
}
adminCookie(); //issue the cookie
