Hi I have a simple Python program that assigns a cookie to a web user when they open the script the 1st time(in an internet browser). If they open the script a second time the script should display the line " You have been here 2 times." , if they open the script agai it should show on the webpage "You have been here 3 times" and so on.
But for some reason, my program is not assigning or recognising an assigned cookie & outputing the line "You have been here x times". I have gone over my code for like 2 hours now I cant figure out what is going wrong?? Can you help me figure out whats wrong? I have my own cgi server that just runs on my machine so its not that its the code to recognise/ assign a cookie [code]#!/usr/bin/env python import Cookie import cgi import os HTML_template = """ <html> <head> </head> <body> <p> %s </p> </body> </html> """ def main(): # Web Client is new to the site so we need to assign a cookie to them cookie = Cookie.SimpleCookie() cookie['SESSIONID'] = '1' code = "No cookie exists. Welcome, this is your first visit." if 'HTTP_COOKIE' in os.environ: cookie = Cookie.SimpleCookie(os.environ['HTTP_COOKIE']) # If Web client has been here before if cookie.has_key('SESSIONID'): cookie['SESSIONID'].value = int(cookie['SESSIONID'].value) +1 code = "You have been here %s times." % cookie['SESSIONID'].value else: cookie = Cookie.SimpleCookie() cookie['SESSIONID'] = '1' code = "I Have a cookie, but SESSIONID does not exist" print "Content-Type: text/html\n" print HTML_template % code if __name__ == "__main__": main() [/code] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
