Setting a cookie Content Type: img/png

[ludlow]

I have (what I thought was) a really simple script.

The only thing it is supposed to do is to set a cookie when it loads an image. It's not being used for anything malicious - but would be useful for tracking.

For some reason it doesn't work and I am wondering if I am not understanding how the headers are working. Here is the code.

<?

  setcookie ("TestCookie", "testcookie", time() + 3600, "/", ".example.com", 0);

  header("Content-type: image/png");
  $im = imagecreatefromjpeg("img.jpg");
  imagejpeg($im);
  imagedestroy($im);

?>

For the record, the image loads just fine. It just isn't creating the cookie as I anticipated it would.

I assume you're changing the domain to your own, correct?

You probably don't even need to specify the domain in your case.

Try:

setcookie("testcookie","testcookie",time() + 3600, "/");
