PHP detection of Cookies.

Anon

Hi,

I am using Cookies, and I want a PHP script which detects whether the users browser supports Cookies or not. And if it does not detect Cookies Support , it should prompt user that Cookies should be enabled in his browser to access futher.

Its pretty ugly I guess, and i dont know if t works, but why not:

set a cookie
redirect to self
check if the cookie is set
if not: not supported
if set: supported

Youd have to figure it out, somethin like:

<?php

if ($test){
if ($testcookie) {
echo "Cookies work";
}
else {
echo "Cookies not supported";
}
}
else {
setcookie("testcookie","testcookie");
header("location:thispage.php?test=1");
}

Thats all.
Good luck,

Robin

Normally, if you set a cookie on a page, it can't be accessed by that same page.
Not in my experience anyway, I'd try it again but my hosters are having problems (ie their and my sites are both down)

There is a way, I've got it in a book, I'll try to look it up later when I get home.

Servers back up and tested it.

It works :-)
