Re: [PHP] Cookies page refresh

Walking back out front to the ticket sales window, you don't show them your ticket again... Maybe that's not such a good analogy... You could fix it by explaining that no one should check to see whether you have a ticket before you've had a chance to buy one. The timing just doesn't make sense. Developers sometimes make the mistake of checking $_COOKIE (a convenient representation of the Cookie header from the previous request) before a Set-Cookie header has been sent to the browser. The browser can't return something it has never received.

Anyway, when you hit the back button, back to the first page, there is no cookie, because there was no cookie in that request, because you hadn't sent it. If you reload, you get back the cookie, because the browser has it, so it can send it now.
