[Resolved] Setting Website in Cookies

[racing_fire]

Hey,

In the setcookies function, can the value for website parameter b something like ".something.site.com:8080"?

Does it conflict with browsers?

Thanks.

as far as i know it has to be a fully qualified domain name. Did you try it?

[racing_fire]

No, not yet, should I upload it?

May as well, unless you're using some REALLY sensitive data that's validity relies upon this cookie 😉

Okay, I will, but I'll just do a test cookie so you can check it too.

Heres the code I used:

if (!empty($_COOKIE['testcookie'])) {
	setcookie("testcookie", "The cookie has value!!!", time() + 60*60*24*1, '/', 'watup.servehttp.com:8080');
	header("Location: $PHP_SELF?okay"); /* Query string doesn't do anything ... it's just to refresh the page. */
} else {
	$thecookie = $_COOKIE['testcookie'];
	echo $thecookie;
}

but the result is nothing.
Look here: http://watup.servehttp.com:8080/cookietester.php

I haven't worked with cookies before tho, so if I'm wrong, can you give me an example to use?

EDIT: I changed it to use an eample from php.net. It's on the same page, but the code is:

<?php
// set the cookies
setcookie ("cookie[three]", "cookiethree");
setcookie ("cookie[two]", "cookietwo");
setcookie ("cookie[one]", "cookieone");

// after the page reloads, print them out
if (isset($_COOKIE['cookie'])) {
    foreach ($_COOKIE['cookie'] as $name => $value) {
        echo "$name : $value <br />\n";
    }
}

/* which prints

three : cookiethree
two : cookietwo
one : cookieone

*/
?>

This worked for me.
