Problems Setting a cookie.

[Anon]

I am having problems setting a cookie. It does not seem to work.

View http://www.gowestbend.com/test.php for an example.

Here is how I set the cookie:

<?php
setcookie("cookie1","hi",time()+14400,"/",".gowestbend.com",0);
?>

Here is how I am trying to retrieve the cookie:
<?php echo $cookie1 ?>

Is there something wrong with how I set the cookie? Or is there something that may be wrong on the server that I am using? Please help a.s.a.p if possible. Thanks in advance.

What doesn't work? You get the wrong value or no value? What else is on the page? Did you call the cookie() function BEFORE outputting anything to the page? Are you trying to retrieve the information on the next page (see cookie() doc in php.net for reason for that)?

Shouldn't the time() function read like this:

time() + "14400"

with the double-quotes?

Sorry, I was trying to answer some one elses question.

I solved the problem. I had to remove the () in the cookie statement and everything works good.

thanks
