cookie problem

AndreaD

I am trying to write the values from texboxes into cookies and then retrieve them I am having great difficulty.

Can someone look at my code

and see why it doesn't echo the values out.

Thanks,

your problem is two-fold.

#1) you are setting the cookie name to "cookie[$name]" and then trying to echo out $COOKIE[$name] when in reality you are storing them in $COOKIE['cookie'][$name]

This is the fix for that:

foreach($_POST['cookie'] as $name => $age)
{
   setcookie($name, $age);          

   echo $_COOKIE[$name];
}

foreach($_POST['cookie'] as $name => $age)
{
   setcookie("cookie[$name]", $age);          

   echo $_COOKIE['cookie'][$name];
}

#2) cookie values will not be available until the next page view. That is, if you run setcookie($name, $age), then $_COOKIE[$name] will not be available in the same script execution, but will be available the next time you run the script.

When in doubt, do something like:

echo '<div align="left"><pre>';
print_r($_COOKIE)
echo '</pre></div>';

which shows you everything stored in the $_COOKIE array.
