cookies

[lionheart81]

I have a receipt page that I am not getting the correct totals on, can I just try using cookies from a previous page that has the correct amounts? and what would it look like?

[Installer]

On the previous page:

setcookie('total', $total);

On the reciept page:

$total = $_COOKIE['total'];

Is this placement of the setCookie going to work? I'm not sure where I need to put it.

    <div align="right"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Total:</b></font></div>
  </td>
  <td width="23%" height="19">
    <? if(IsSet($TotalWithTax)){$Total =  $TotalWithTax;}  echo "$".$Total;  setcookie('total', $Total);?>
  </td>

no, you must set all cookies BEFORE sending any output to the browser

if thats not possible, take a look at output buffering
