Unserialize cookie problem! HELP!

[pcdivenii]

For some reason, I cannot unserialize my cookie.

The output is ALWAYS blank after unserialization.

In test.php:

[code=php] <?
$allcookie = "CHECK";
setcookie("mycookie", serialize($allcookie),time()+(31449600*20));

echo "<A HREF=\"test2.php\">Test2</A>";
?>[/code]

In test2.php:

[code=php] <?
$cookie_data = unserialize($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["mycookie"]);
echo $cookie_data;
?> [/code]

The above is the only code in each PHP file.

test2.php's output is nil -- totally blank.

I'm able to output $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["mycookie"] in its serialized state without a problem.

And for further reference, the following will output just fine:

PHP:
$all = "CHECK";
$serialcook = serialize($all);
echo unserialize($serialcook);

PHP Version 4.3.9

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

test if it works with

$cookie_data = unserialize($_COOKIE["mycookie"]);

Nope, it doesn't work with $_COOKIE either, unfortunately.

Already tried that! : )

Thank you though!

Ok,

I checked the data. It worked with

$cookie_data = unserialize(stripslashes($_COOKIE['mycookie']));

Seems like magic_quotes_gpc is set to on in your case, so the cookie data is

s:5:\"CHECK\";
instead of
s:5:"CHECK";
