PHP cookies

Anon

I have a set of cookies to set :

$listevariable = array("aga","agaga","agagaga");

I'd like to know how, when i get the datas from a form, how to set cookies fort each data of the form (in order to save the form as a cookie).

i tried to do this :
foreach ($listvariables as $var) {
setcookie($var,$$var);
}

but $var in setcookie doesn't seem to return something valid.
perhaps I could just make a copy of the string var if there is a problem of null char, but i don't know how to copy a string

thank you

Well for a start this is wrong... (from what I can see...

setcookie($var,$$var);

setcookie(var,"$var");

then when you try to echo $var, you get the variable given as $var in the previous page.

Also, why are you trying to store the whole form in a selection of cookies, this is much slower than it needs to be, either store the info in a db or txt file, or just pass it to the next page as a session if you only need it briefly (as it sounds like).

no, as i echo $var i obtain the value from the $listvariables list, since i am in a "foreach ($listvariables as $var)" loop.

futhermore i do this for multiple reason : i want to make a custumisation of my pages, and i don't want the user to access a database to do this (this would need a login, I don't want to use this for this thing), and I only need a small part of the data each time, but as there is lots of info, it is just more practical for me...

thank you

well try a while loop then...

while (condition) {

//set cookies

}

or..

do {

//set cookies

}

while (condition)

That may give you what you want.
