Cookies Trouble

[dante2010]

Hi,

I am having some problems with cookies and checking that a browser has them enabled.

What I am doing is the following:

setcookie("check_cookie", "on", time()+3600); 

if (!$_COOKIE['check_cookie']) { 
    echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;url=201_en.php\">";      

} 

In my mind this should set a cookie, and then check if the cookie was set. If it was, the script continues. If not they're bumped to the refresh page.

So.. here's the problem I'm having. I have a temp page with a link to the page that contains this code. I load it and then delete all cookies in the browser. I make sure cookies are enabled in my browswer. Then I click the link and it bumps me to the refresh page.

Should it not set the cookie properly and check that it was in fact set?? Why am I being bumped to the refresh page?

It seems to work fine if I just open a browswer and go directly to that script which contains the cookie code.

Do you close the browser? The browser must be closed before all cookies are truly cleared. All data remains while the browser is still open.

Yes.

This is done from a fresh browser, with all cookies cleared before going to the page.

Try this...

if(!isset($_COOKIE['check_cookie'])) {
    header("Location: 201_en.php");
}
