[Resolved] cookie problem

[fernyburn]

Hi Can anyone help with this problem
My site uses cookies to remember who referrered them to the site.
The cookie looks like this

<?php 
if(isset($_COOKIE["user_referal"]) and (strlen(trim($_COKKIE["user_referal"])) > 0)){$username=$_COOKIE["user_referal"];} 
if(isset($username)){setcookie("user_referal",$username,time()+129600);} 
else { $username="admin"; }
?> 

the problem is that the cookie works only temporarily.
If i go back to the site say 4 hours later, then the cookie doesnt show the referrers name any more.

Where have I gone wrong in the script ?

Is that cut-and-pasted from the script, not retyped? Because I can see a typo in there ($_COKKIE?)

Duh !!
What a dumbo, talk about none so blind

Thanks

It was pasted from the script

Not a problem; to avoid this sort of typo, you can set PHP's error reporing to E_ALL (either in php.ini or using error_reporting()), and then it will notify you if you try to use a variable (like $_COKKIE) that doesn't have a value.
