Cookies

[BigGrecian]

Hello all,

Really dumb question.

I am recoding a site to PHP and the cookies are set in asp on another page as ("ENROLLER")("COOKIE")

In ASP I would <%Request.cookies("ENROLLER")("COOKIE")%>

How do I get the specific COOKIE as above in php?

I have used

<?php echo $_COOKIE["ENROLLER"]["SNAME"]?>

like ASP would pull them but that doesn't work.

<?php echo $_COOKIE["ENROLLER"]?>

returns all ENROLLER cookies with & between them.

I just want the ENROLLER:SNAME cookie.

If you want to look at what's in the $COOKIE variable, you can use [man]var_dump[/man] or [man]print_r[/man]:

// recursively prints out contents of all cookies available in this script
print_r($_COOKIE);

As for what that ASP code accomplishes, I'm not certain. If you could use it to set the code in ASP and then redirect to your PHP script, you could use the statement above to inspect what is in there. Alternatively, you could visually inspect the cookie file.

array(2) { ["ENROLLER"]=> string(205) "ADMIN=3&SCHOOL=0&STUDENTID=119&ATSCHOOL=1&EXAMINER=1&INSTRUCTORID=35&INSTRUCTOR=1&SSIRNAME=Doe&SNAME=John&DURATION=30 Mins&SEMAIL=[e-mail]&CUSTOMERID=0&CAATESTFEE=1&VISASENT=1&TSAR=1" ["ASPSESSIONIDACBQQTAC"]=> string(24) "DCBLNLMAIJGJPIPJAHLHAJID" }

In ASP you can pull the sub COOKIE such as ENROLLER and SSIRNAME or ENROLLER and SNAME.

So in other words the ASP page is storing a whole array of cookies in a single cookie.

It looks like [man]parse_str[/man] would be able to deal with that string.
