RE: [PHP] Re: cookies under php 4.06
setcookie(UserName, $HTTP_POST_VARS['UserName'], time()+(60*10), /, $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SERVER_NAME']); setcookie(Password, $password, time()+(60*10), /, $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SERVER_NAME']); print login - set cookie; sorry for kinda answering my own post... but anyway... setcookie(UserName, $HTTP_POST_VARS['UserName']); setcookie(Password, $password); solves my problem, although means i can't have a time limit on my cookies i guess... but can set a time limit with another cookie... 1.) I would not store the user's password in a cookie. 2.) As far as I know, set_cookie() has worked the same since PHP3, so your problem is something else, not the PHP version. Are you sure $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SERVER_NAME'] is the same as what's in the location bar in your browser. If the server name is set up as www.domain.com but the user is just at http://domain.com the cookie won't set. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

What you describe is what SHOULD happen and does on that web site, that does NOT happen on my web site, with the exact same code I posted in the original message.

Thanks for responding. It turns out this is a known bug in 4.2.2 along with Apache 2.x.x according to the developers.

You pass the session around in the URL

A HREF=?=link('page.php')?click here/a.
Yes, that's every internal (relative) URL on your whole site :)
It becomes a trade-off between the convent but unreliable cookies, versus
the 100% accessible, but perhaps time consuming/tricky URL method.

Ummm, sorry, it's one that I wrote myself in my library of code -- not an official function. my function link() takes the standard link, and adds the SID to it. It's not that tricky, all it does is check if there's already a query string, if there is, it appends the SID with , otherwise with ?.

No, I just tested it myself - if you set a cookie with no expire date it
exists until the browser window is closed.
My code:
?php
if (!isset($_COOKIE['TestCookie']))
{
setcookie (TestCookie, FUD);
echo Just Set a cookie - reload the page;
}
else
{
echo Cookie is : {$_COOKIE['TestCookie']}brClose the window then
return
and the cookie should be gone;
}

If you don't specify a expire date it will live for ever or until you
delete
it.
The only way is to set it with an expiry date and then it will delete
it'self when the browser closes.
Check this by running a file on the same domain with phpinfo();

Re: [PHP] Re: cookies
My experience with cookies that have no expiration date has not been as successful. It seems that (in IE6 anyway) the behavior is inconsistent. Sometimes the cookie would last until I closed the browser, sometimes the cookie would expire in the middle of the session for no apparent reason. This behavior may not occur in other browsers though. I'd test the cookies with the browser(s) that you will be using for your application.
