Re: [PHP] Accessing cookies in required files

2002-06-27 Thread Leif K-Brooks 

This sounds like a problem with the function, not file.  Are you 
globaling the variable with the cookie?

Hi,

Can anyone help with this problem?

I have a file called settings.inc which I include in all files on my site
like this:

require(settings.inc);

Up until now this has worked fine. But now I have a function in the
settings.inc file that tries to read the value of a cookie called
testcookie. My problem is that the settings.inc file doesn't seem to be
able to access the cookie at all. But if I try to access it direct from a
page rather than the required file it works fine.

Does anybody know why I can't access my cookie in my required file? They are
all on the same directory level etc.

Thanks for any help.

Function whatever()
{
  global $testcookie;

or

  global $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS;

or

upgrade your PHP and jus use $_COOKIE['testcookie'] and it's always
available, regardless of scope.
