Trouble Shooting Cookies!!!!!

[g0dzuki]

Hey all --

I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong with some cookies I set on my web site. The cookies in question set OK and are viewable in the browsers cookie list but when I do this:

print_r($_COOKIE);

...they arent shown. I'm setting the cookie like this:

setcookie("cookie_name","$vaue",time()[phone]);

and checking for it in my script like:

if (isset($_COOKIE['cookie_name'])) {
       do this...
	}

... and like I said, I can view that the cookie was set succsessfuly using the cookie viewer in my browser but my 'isset' calls to it fail.

Anyone have any advice on what I'm missing or something else I can try?

Thanks

Right after you set the cookie, are you trying to read from it on the same call to the page? Like the setcookie() is on the same page as trying to read it... btw, remove the double quotes around the variables. 🙂

No, the cookie gets read from a different page - even closed out of the browser and tried it again... same result.

Might try without the time, just for troubleshooting.. try just doing:
setcookie("membername", $value);

And see if that works, hope it does... Make sure you're accepting cookies as well. 🙂

I found my error!
It was an issue with the 'path' that was set in the cookie...

Thanks for your help
