Cookies

[Chimps]

I have 2 pages, the firts one:

<?php
$user_email = "[e-mail]";
setcookie("user_email", $user_email, time()+3600);
?>

And the second one:

<?php
print $user_email;
?>

Of course, this is the simplified version...but anyways, it does not work...the second page does not print the $user_email.

I have also tried it with session variables, and they are not printed.

Thanks.

<?php
print $_COOKIE['user_email'];
?>

Still not working...I don't know why, but no session or cookie variable seem to work...it just prints blank.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Are your browser settings set to accept cookies?

Yes, the thing is that the same problem happens with session variables. I assign a value to a session variable on one page, and when I try to retrive it, it just comes up blank.

Session use cookies to store session id

Are you using

session_start();

before you call the cookie or session variable?

<?php
 $user_email = "[e-mail]"; setcookie("user_email", $user_email, time()+3600);
 ?> 

setcookie() should be called before any other content is sent to the browser. Same with session_start()
