Really simple php file, but...

jc94062

I was just trying to make a little file that sets a cookie, and it wouldn't seem to work, so I made it really simple, the entire 7 lines is below, I'm sure theres some obvious error that, but I can't find it!

<?php
if ($submit) {
echo "Test...";
}
?>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">

Thanks for any help

Nothing wrong with the PHP but where is the rest of the <form> stuff?
If that is the whole thing then brush up on the HTML Forms thing else send over the whole thing and I'll be glad to take a look!

The code that sets the cookie must be sent before any other header info. So it must be the first thing in your php file.

<?php
setcookie(blah);
?>

<head>
etc etc.

But the example I gave doesn't use a setcookie...
I know about where to put the values for that anyways, just as I know the error I'd get, much too well for my likeing 🙂

Thanks, I wasn't using my brain there...

<?php
if ($submit) {
echo "Test...";
}
?>
<form action="http://www.mysite.com/file.php" method=post>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

just had to add the rest of the form stuff.
