Restrictions on Cookie values?

[Anon]

Hi All,

I'm having a bit of trouble setting a cookie to store an e-mail address. All my other cookies work fine, but the cookie doesn't get set when I do the following with $loginid containing an e-mail address:

setcookie("UserID", "$loginid", time()+(606024), "/", $Domain, $SecureCookies);

If I hard-code some other value the cookie works. $loginid is passed from a login page, and I use it successfully in a SQL query in the same script.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

I don't know if this will work though here goes nothing:

try removing the "" from the variable and try adding setcookie("UserID"); before that piece of code you have there.

hope that somehow helps...

Thanks Christian,

After looking at it again (for the 100th) time I realized the variable I was using the wrong variable and it was null. DUH! I feel pretty silly to have missed it. but it just goes to show that a good number of problems are not language or platform related but simply Programming 101. :-)

Thanks.
