cookie function problem

[peter_sands]

HI,
I am trying to use afunction to reuturn the status of a cookie. But I wlays get back back 'cookie ther', even when it is not. What I am doing wrong. Is my logic / code wrong?

Heres my test script..

<?php
require("funcs.php");

if (!cookie_present) {
echo "cookie NOT here";
} else {
echo "cookie there";
}
echo "COOKIE:$cookieID";
?>

And here is my funcs.php file
<?php

return - 1 if OK : 0 if error

function cookie_present {
if (isset($CookieID)) {
return 1;

} else {
return 0;
}
}
?>

Hi there, I'm guessing a few errors here:

function cookie_present

should be:

function cookie_present() {
// if $CookieID is global, which I guess 🙂
global $CookieID;
if (isset($CookieID)) {
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
}
}

And

if (!cookie_present) { ...

Should be:

if (!cookie_present()) {
echo "cookie NOT here";
} else {
echo "cookie there";
}
echo "COOKIE: $CookieID";

And remember: $cookieID is NOT the same as $CookieID ... you MUST use EXACT name...

Hope it helps, Arni
