[PHP] cookies problem
I am very close to getting this sorted.Thanks for all the help on
'variable variables' and var_dump. Two useful techniques.
My function works but throws up a cookie problem
if (isset($add)){
${$add} = intval($_COOKIE['cookie'][$add]);
$new= $$add+1;
setcookie(cookie[$add], $new $add);
echo var_dump($_COOKIE['cookie'][$add]);
}
At the beginining of my page I have...
session_start();
require_once('init_cookies.php');
Init_cookies is jus a for loop to initialise the cookies...
$dishes= array (pakora, haggis_fritter);
for ($i=0; $i 2; $i++){
setcookie(cookie[$dishes[$i]], 0 $dishes[$i]);
when I leave it in it resets the cookies when they are sent to the page.
When I take it out the headers already sent error occurs. I do not know if
this is my lack of undertanding of require_once/include_once.
I need a way to initialise the cookies one time only. I have tried an 'if
(isset)' but that doesn't work.
thanks again
Ross

[PHP] Cookies problem
PHP general list I don't want to take much time, but I'm still having problems with cookies and I want to know if somebody could help my solve them. First of all I tried to put the cookie Path to the different pages, but didin't function. What's more I don't know what to put in cookieDomain... it should be my server name, no? But doesn't function... I want to do the following: first the user enters a page and if he/ she doesn't have a cookie so I can recognize him/ her, I display a form so the user can complete it with his/ her data. In that page I put the cookie in his/ her computer, so the other time he/ she comes to the page, I can recognize him/ her. The problem is that the variable $_COOKIE is not set in the page after the page that has the setcookie function and niether the first page of the site where I check if there is the cookie in the client. I have a directory structure with the pages: page1/ -- here is the first page, where I check if the client has the cookie. page2/ --- here is the page with the form, in case is the first time the user enter the site. page3/ --- here is a page where I put the users data in the database and the cookie in the client. The question is what sould I put in the $cookiePath variable? which directory?? Another problem is that when I set the domain to the cookie, in the page appears a window message that asks me if I accept the cookie or not, because is from an unknown domain What sould I put in the cookie expiration time if I want it the last for ever (until the user delets it...)? Thanks a lot for the help I've allways recieved from the list and I hope you can help me a bit, because it's a complete day I'm with this cookies and I'm going desespperate without a solution :-( Thank you very much for your time and help once again.

Schneider [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't want to take much time, but I'm still having problems with cookies Sabina, First, to answer your question of path, you should start with / as it is the least restrictive. You can always try restricting cookies per directory later, but it is best to just use that until you get things working. As for date, there is no way to make a cookie last forever. In fact, I am pretty sure (but don't feel like looking it up) that there is a maximum lifetime of a cookie in the specification - two years comes to mind, but it might be shorter. The only three options you have are: 1. No date - this makes it a session cookies that expires as soon as the browser session ends (all instances of the browser terminate). 2. Set a date to the current date or a date in the past - This effectively deletes a cookie. 3. Set a date in the future - This indicates the lifetime of the cookie. As a really simple test, try this: page1.php: -- ? header(Set-Cookie: foo=bar); ? a href=page2.php page2.php: -- pre ? print_r($_COOKIE); ? /pre If you don't see anything on page 2, either your browser did not supply the cookie, or your version of PHP is too old to have the $_COOKIE superglobal. Hope that helps. Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Cookies problem
Hello people!!! This time I have a problem with cookies. I tried to send a cookie from one page with the function sendcookie(chat,$mail) to a page in another directory, but when I tried to prine echo($chat) or echo($_COOKIE[chat]) I got notheing. So I put the second page where it was the page that sent the cookie and tried again. This last time I got the cookie in the echo($chat) but not in the echo($_COOKIE[chat]) I need to send a cookie to a page in another path and I need that the cookie stays in the client browser so I can see if I can recognize him/ her next time he/she enters the chat. Was I clear? Thank you very much for all of your help and time!!!

[PHP] Please Help: PHP Cookies Problem on localhost
Hi there, the php.net site said I should email you with problems. The basic issue is that I have a user logon screen which works on a remote server but not when developing on the same machine that is a local server. I hold the username and passwords on mysql and ask the user for their username and password which gets sent to another .php page which first of all sets the following cookies setcookie(email,$email,time()+1800); setcookie (password,$password,time()+1800); Then verifies this against the database and if succesfull redirects to the 'members area' where the cookies are set again otherwise it redirects to a logout page. [Which is where i get sent on the local machine] I have tried the following formats for the setcookie and all combinations including setting the expiry time to 8000. setcookie(email,$_POST[email],time()+1800); setcookie (password,$_POST[password],time()+1800); setcookie(email,$email,time()+1800); setcookie (password,$password,time()+1800); The database authentication is being succeful, it is just that the cookies are not being set on the local machine, as when I hit the members area I set the email value to another variable, set the cooies as before, then alert() the old value [before the $email was reset by the new setcookie() command. I have the following lines set in my php.ini register_globals = On variables_order = EGPCS Do you have any idea why my local machine is not setting the cookies???
