Re: [PHP] Cookie problem
Try simplifying the problem to determine the error point. For example don't involve $_POST just try setting a cookie with hard coded variables. If that works then add in the $_POST and test for BOTH $_POST['prefs'] and $_POST['filter']. Example of simplification: ?php // Send cookie setcookie(listpref,selected,time()+7776000); ? Aaron On 1/14/06, Al [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.

On privacy policies in IE (can he try another browser?) what is his setting? I'm still waiting on definitive word as to what exactly his privacy settings are. In my experiments, manually setting IE to Always Allow or Always Block cookies for a domain will completely override privacy settings. I've had IE privacy set to allow no cookies, and manually added the domain to Always Allow and this overrode the no cookies setting. For kicks and giggles, I changed $_REQUEST to $_GET, but he reported no difference. Again, I don't see this as being the problem, since if it were so, he'd get no output at all instead of Cookie NOT set. I'm quite convinced this is a matter of his cookie simply not being set. He is not able to ever see a cookie for this domain in his temp internet files folder, though he tells us there are other cookies there. I wish I could tell him to just use another friggin browser, but it would be nice to fix it so he can use the one he wants, no matter what words one can say about his choice. ;) I have not looked into it, but do some internet security apps like Norton try to block certain cookies?

I can verify $_REQUEST is correct for me, and I'm sure it's correct for
him too, since he gets Cookie NOT set. The second if statement
requires $_REQUEST['page'] to be 1 to even get to that line. If
$_REQUEST['page'] is not set, he should get no output at all.
I've been looking through the comments in the manual, and several people
mention privacy policies creating a problem in IE. My problem is none
of this can be duplicated on my machine (or any other so far), and this
customer is in Florida and I'm in Virginia. I've also never seen in
other applications that a privacy policy truly needed to be sent to
allow a cookie to be set, and apparently the web site manager settings
(where you explicitly allow or block cookies from certain domains)
override all privacy settings in IE anyways. So that seems like a dead end.

I'm not that concerned with supporting that old of a browser but I am 99% sure the site was working with that browser at one time. It works fine with all other browsers I have tired (Mozilla, IE, Opera, NS 7.1). Does anyone know why the old version of netscape seems to be ignoring my cookies but still accepts cookies from other sites? The set cookie code looks like this. setcookie(UserID, stripslashes($UserID), 0, '/', $mydomain); I know that $UserID and $mydomain are set right because it works in other browsers. BTW $mydomain is set to thewishzone.com but you need to use port 8086 on my testing machine to get at it. Could that be the reason netscape 4.79 isn't working with it? Chris W We've had that same problem here with IE 5 for Mac. The solution ended up being setting the cookie like this: setcookie(cookie_name, $cookie_value) with nothing else (no time, etc.). That is the only way that old crappy browser would accept the cookie. Which leaves me to wonder...why are we still programming to support browsers with obvious bugs in them?!?!

Hello, This is a reply to an e-mail that you wrote on Mon, 23 Jun 2003 at 10:18, lines prefixed by '' were originally written by you.

Re: [PHP] Cookie problem
It depends on which browser you are using and on what platform. On the
MacOS in IE you can view cookies by going to Edit - Preferences - Cookies
in Netscape you can also view the cookies with the Preferences menu. On the
PC it's a little more difficult. In IE you go to Tools - Internet Options
- General [Tab] - Settings - View Files... and then sort by file type,
go down to text files and you'll see all your cookies. Now in Netscape I
think it's a little bit easier, but I am afraid I do not have netscape
currently on the pc machine (will get it soon) so I cant help you there, but
I do believe it's a lot easier.
In other words you can almost always view your cookies within the browser
application menus.

Hello,
short:
try removing the third parameter to setcookie and if the errors go away
you know it's a cookie problem :)
long:
you're setting auth based in the (server's) time + 600sec. If the client
(or even the server) has a clock skew... well bad luck :)
removing the third parameter makes php create a "session cookie" that
will stay there until the browser is closed (alll the windows).
If this is not a problem, let it be. I love session cookies!! :)
Anyway, the best method to get decent auth are sessions. Try php4's
sessions or phplib or something.

Nuno

(I have not coded this).
What seems to happen is that - with alarming regularity - people are
getting logged off when choosing item from a menu. Either they are thrown
out into the log on-screen or (as has happened to me recently) the app
simply states I'm not logged on even if I am in the middle of using it (and
must have logged on).
I'm not at all familiar with cookies (yet) but suspect that the timing of
the critters could be a culprit. IS this correct?
How do I solve the problem?
