Be a little more specific - do you want to know if there
are cookies at all, or if there are specific cookies?
Depends on the settings in the Data Handling section of your
php.ini. With register_globals = On and track_vars = On, I
can do this:
both of these are On. Is this a *FOR SURE* way to tell if cookies are
enabled on the
client machine???
if (sizeof($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS) == 0) {
error_log("no cookies!!!");
}
or
if (empty($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["my_cookie_1"])) {
error_log("my_cookie_1 doesn't exist!");
}
HTH.

RE: [PHP] Test for Cookies
You'll need to at least reload the page so
the cookie can be sent back to the server
after it's set.
Try this: it's taken directly from the annotations
on the setcookie function page of the php manual.
?php
$status = 0;
if (isset($myTstCky) ($myTstCky == "ChocChip")) $status = 1;
if (!isset($CCHK)) {
setcookie("myTstCky", "ChocChip");
header("Location: $PHP_SELF?CCHK=1");
exit;
}
?
html
headtitleCookie Check/title/head
body bgcolor="#FF" text="#00"
Cookie Check Status:
?php
printf ('font color="#%s"%s/font
;',
$status ? "00FF00" : "FF",
$status ? "PASSED!" : "FAILED!");
?

Okayhere is the scenario:
User originates from STATIC Html page,
Links to my PHP Cookie Test Page
I set a cookie in my PHP Cookie Test Page
Can I then check (safely) for cookies right away in my PHP Cookie
Test Page
without involving a 3rd page?

Re: [PHP] Test for Cookies
In IE | Tools | Internet Options | Security | Custom Level
You'll find 2 items under Cookies
- Allow cookies that are stored on your computer
- Allow per-session cookies (not stored)
Both haveing the options (enabled / prompt / disabled)
The cookie test script is succesful if and only if "per-session" is enabled.
Okay, my question is:
Does the 2nd Cookie Option "Per Session" imply that "that as long as the
browser(s) have not been closed down, that as long as any instance of IE is
running, that we have infact NOT terminated a "Session" and a cookie which
has been set in this session is available? No matter where the user browses
to, the number of browser windows he opens, closes, jumps back and forth
between (just as long as at least 1 instance of IE is running the entire
time), is this "cookie session" still intact?"
And what about NS?

[PHP] Test for Cookies (Stored vs. Session)
So my Point is:
What if you require "stored cookies" - cookies written to the users disk?
Hmmm, this cookie test would return true if "per-session" cookies was
enabled and "stored cookies" was disabled.
