saving array to cookie problem

[Anon]

hi folks,

i have the following code which saves an array of strings out to a cookie. Now, on some servers is works with all browsers. But on one server it works with some browsers and not others. Maybe just not the latest IE. Netscape is fine.

Plus, I only suspect that this code is the problem, but where it doesnt work, the array elements are seen to been empty in the cookie...

here's the code:

for ($j=0;$j<$num_open;$j++)
setcookie("c_open[".$j."]", $copen[$j], time() +259200);

I am baffled 🙂

Perhaps there alternate ways of achieving the same result?

Why not just serialize() the array before you write it out, then unserialize() it when you read it back in?
