cookies not set

tyr_82

Now Im allmost pissed of. First the sessions didnt work as i thought it would. Tried every single tip I came over with no results. Now I try cookies instead and the problem is:

when I use the setcookie function for example

setcookie("cokename", time()*3600, "/", "", 0);

i cant retrive the cookies on nextpage. When I look in my stored cookies in the browser I cant see any cookies from my site. Could it be anything with php.ini that causes my problem ? please help me.

you know.... i have had similar problems before on certain computers, and then have it work fine on different ones. Try running the script from a different computer, it may be the actual computer you are working on.

ok, for cookies, you have to set a domain. that is where you are just placing a blank string ""

This is how i set a cookie on my domain (blahd.homeip.net)

$domain = "blahd.homeip.net";

setcookie("ctheme", "grey", "time()+3600", "/", $domain, 0) or die ('Couldn\'t post your cookie! Enable or accept the ccookie damnit!');

Most web browsers only accept them if that is present, and from the correct domain. Some netscape browsers have a problem with cookies that dont have a domain with at least two dots in it.

i.e. domain.net would not work but www.domain.net would.

Hope this helps, i know i struggled with cookies my first time as well
