[Resolved] Cookie problem

pinehead18

I have no problems with setting the cookie, infact it is set. However i am having problems reading the vars set on the cookie.

Is there a forum already created or an example someone can show me?

Thanks
Anthony

to access previously created cookies use:

$_COOKIE['cookie_name_you_used_when_you_set_it']

pinehead18

But how do i echo the contents of the cookie?

Sorry.. Really a newbie 🙁 and slow learned 🙁

stolzyboy

echo $_COOKIE['cookie_name_you_used_when_you_set_it'];

if you setcookie equal to phpbuilder, and named it testcookie

you would to

echo $_COOKIE['testcookie'];

that would echo "phpbuilder"

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/p/www/cookie.php:2) in /home/pinehead/www/cookie.php on line 4

How is that possible when the only code i have on this page is..

<?php

    setcookie("user","pinehead",time()+5897755);

?>      

<?PHP   

        echo $_COOKIE['user'];
?>

Thank you again.
