[PHP] Re: Cookie problem
Al wrote: Can't get a cookie to set. Below is the code near the file top BEFORE any html output. $_POST['prefs'] comes from a hidden field in the middle of the html output. $_POST['filter'] comes from a select option. A Submit button closes the page and refreshes it. print_r($_POST) shows $_POST['prefs'] $_POST['prefs'] are just as I expect when the page refreshes. ## code print_r($_POST) session_start(); print_r($_COOKIE); if(isset($_POST['prefs'])) $cookie= setcookie(listpref, $_POST['filter'], time()+7776000); var_dump($cookie) shows bool TRUE I added the session_start() as a test. print_r($_COOKIE) shows the session ID cookie works just fine. IE6 and Firefox don't record the regular cookie. Problem solved. Was a slap-on-the-forehead, dummy, type. Note, the test print_r() BEFORE the setcookie(). It is obviously sent before the html header. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Re: Cookie problem with IE
save below as testcookie.php, request it from your browser twice, what
do you get at 2nd time?
?php
setcookie('sessioncookie', 1);
setcookie('storedcookie',1,time()+3600);
var_dump($_COOKIE);
?

He got Cookie NOT set. which means exactly what it says. He's using
IE 6.0, and swears up and down that he's set it to always allow
cookies from this domain. I can't verify that he's set it correctly,
but he has been told twice how to do it. I also know his browser must
be saving some cookies, as he is able to login to other sites. Has
anyone run into other sources of cookie-blockage in the past? I
cannot manage to duplicate this when I have IE set to always allow
cookies from this domain.
Thanks for any tips,
kgt

Request from MY browser? I get
array(2) { [sessioncookie]= string(1) 1 [storedcookie]=
string(1) 1 }
This isn't a problem in my browser, however. I don't want to keep
sending this customer to random scripts, so can you explain the point of
this script? I mean, in what way might this help me figure out why his
browser is not setting a cookie?
thanks,

[PHP] Re: Cookie problem with IE
did i say it? sorry, i mean load the page in your customer browser.
the code you give simple test stored cookie, which might be blocked by
browser. however browser blocks stored cookie might allow session
cookie, they are not stored so are less insecurity.
bad thing is your customer have some antivirus/firewall software
installed you even cant rely on http referer header, as well as
cookies.
and you have to do something before you can find out what is
happening, isn't it ?

Hello,
I want to set a cookie when I enter a text into the text field, and
it
shows the text I submitted immediately, thus I write a sample php code
like
this:
?php
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['Name'])) {
setcookie(name, $HTTP_POST_VARS['Name'], time()+86400*10);
}
echo $name;
?
(I set the text field is Name and the data will be sent to another page)
In another page, I insert ?php echo $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['name']; ? in the
beginning of the code.
Is the code right?
Then I run the test, I enter a name into the text field and submit it. But
it shows Notice: Undefined index: name in .., it can't show the name I
submitted.
Why?Anything wrong??
Thanks!!
Terry

[PHP] Re: cookie problem..
Cookies are loaded the next time the page is loaded. So you may have to refresh the page to see the cookie... or Submit to a html page which will redirect to the page which shows cookie value...

[PHP] Re: cookie problem. Not possible to set and read a cookie on the same page?
Not possible, read the manual page about setcookie: www.php.net/setcookie There's a 'common pitfall' entry saying so. Don't know why. Maybe the cookie is only written to user's disk after the page is fully loaded, maybe for security reasons. -- Julio Nobrega. Um dia eu chego lá: http://sourceforge.net/projects/toca Ajudei? Salvei?

[PHP] Re: cookie problem
Hi all, Perhaps some one can help me. If I send a cookie like setcookie(+ACI-cookie+AF8-agtpasswd+ACI-,+ACQ-form+AF8-agent+AF8-pass, time()+-1200, +ACI-/+ACI-)+ADs- it does not work on the terminal which has a new version of windows 2000 and with IE6. The browser does not store the cookie. but if I use setcookie(+ACI-cookie+AF8-agtpasswd+ACI-,+ACQ-form+AF8-agent+AF8-pass)+ADs- I can retrive the cookie variable. This happens on a few terminal but for others with win 2000, both cookie sends above works fine. Has anyone come across this problem? Has anyone got any suggestions. Is this a problem of the win 2000 or the browser setting. thanks, Hasan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
