PHP - Persist Cookie Data Without Using Curlopt_cookiejar?

Hi,
I was trying to use setcookie on my website but when I try to use, it wasn't setting anything and then I tried to make sure if it's setting something, I added
Code: [Select]
echo $_COOKIE;But it shows Array (just the word) instead of tblogvalue.

This is the code I'm using;
Code: [Select]
$Month = 2592000 + time();
setcookie(tblog, tblogvalue, $Month);

echo $_COOKIE;

Hey PHPFreaks!

I have a problem with my login script, because when i login it sets a cookie and it all works. But when i got redirected and refresh the page, my script turns an error which says i'm not logged in? how come?

This is what finds the cookie and redirects me

Code: [Select]
if(!isset($_SESSION['auth']) && !isset($_COOKIE['authcookie'])) {
        $_SESSION['ERROR'] = 7;
        header('location: index.php?login');
    }

Ok I have my login form and previously I was using $_SESSION untill I learned this removes data when browser is closed. Someone said to me to use cookies but I have no clue where to begin on setting a cookie or reading information from it.

Can anyone point me to a tutorial on cookies?

I have a question about cookies

I want the cookie to work on all the paths / folders / directorys located in a root path. So say like.. http://www.site.com/members/login.php is the folder which sets the cookie, then this cookie will also work on like.. http://www.site.com/bla/boo/works.php

I'm trying to do:
setcookie(Data1, 'valueofthecookie', '/', '.site.com', 1);

But its not working...

if a user clicks ?hide=1 or ?hide=2

it
does

Code: [Select]
if (isset($_GET['hide'])){
$id = intval($_GET['hide']);
setcookie('hide', ''.$id.'',time()+32000000);
header('Location: index.php');
exit;
}
How do I make it so if they click ?hide=1 it ad's 1, but what if they do ?hide=2 also? it would need to be 1,2  not just 2.

I got a weird problem;

I got a form whit 2 fields and a submit button;
When i click the submit button a jquery ajax script create a cookie named form;
My problem is the form isn't disappearing  when i click the submit(javascript is set to reload location) button even when i try to delete the cookie from the browser;

on index:
Code: [Select]
function addcomment($pass , $pst)//add comment and call form
{

 
   
   
   
$cpageid = $pass;
$comment = new Comment;
$comment->storeFormValues($pst);
$comment->insertc();
require('comment.php');
 
}
on the page where the form is called:
Code: [Select]

<div id="commentbox" class="container_24">

<?php 
 if(!isset($_POST['form']))
   {
   addcomment($result['article']->id,$_POST);//addcoment on the page whit the current id 
   }
?>
</div>

I'm not really sure if this is a cookie problem but that's all I could think of. I have a web site that users have to log into. I have seen that when I log out of my account and log into my test account my main user name will still show on the welcome page unless I let the computer sit for a bit or if I clear recent history. This happens in all the main browsers. I have also started having a problem where if I update something in my database it shows up in MySQL right away but can take a while to show up on the web page unless i clear the history. Not sure what code to post to give you an idea so if you want to see something let me know and I will put it up.

Thank you

<?

$name = $_GET['name'];
$game2 = "2":

setcookie('game_".$name."',$game2, time()+3600); 

?>

would this work?
if not how can it be done?

cheers matt

Hey guys I'm pretty new to both PHP and Javascript. I think my problem is a PHP one, not a Javascript one. But it involves both. I'm trying to delete a cookie by clicking a link.

I call the javascript function like so:


if (isset($_COOKIE["active"]))
{
     echo "<a href='addpost.php'>Add Post</a>
     <a href onClick='eraseCookie()'>Log Out</a>";
}

And the function looks like this:

Code: [Select]
function eraseCookie() {
        <?php
        setcookie(active, 0, time()-3600); 
        echo "It works";
        ?>
}
The function doesn't delete the cookie and doesn't echo "It works". Like I said this could be a Javascript error, not a PHP one, but I have to start somewhere. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

What I want is to let visitors select a county they want to search in.
And when the choice is made - all ads, news, info that is shown is from the chosen county.

What I'm trying to say here, is that when a location is set, visitors don't need to set the location again. But they can change it all the time.

I belive this is done by setting a cookie with PHP. But don't know how.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

test.php
Code: [Select]
<?php
setcookie("test", 'tester', time()+3600*24*30 , "/", ".mystagingsite1.com");
header('Location: test2.php');
?>
test2.php
Code: [Select]
<?php
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_COOKIE);
echo '</pre>';
?>

This does not work. It's not setting the cookie at all.  Is there something I am doing wrong here?

I'm having trouble setting a cookie in php.  When a user logs in I send an ajax request to an file which contains this code to set the cookie


setcookie("userCookie", $_SESSION['username'], time()+60*60*24*30);


However when I include the following code to check to see if the cookie has been set is says is hasn't


if(isset($_COOKIE['userCookie'])) {
echo("cookie set");
} else { echo("cookie not set"); }


I check to see that my browser is accepting cookies and it definitely is so I'm not sure what causing the problem. 

Thanks for any help. 

My code here

Code: [Select]
  setcookie('hide_div', $_COOKIE['hide_div'].','.$_GET['hide'],time()+32000000);
When I set it, it works wonderful, but then when I see view it in my cookie it shows this code between my $_GET['hide'] values

Code: [Select]
%2C
how do I clean it up and just make it show my " , "?

Thank you

Hello,
My latest issue is with a login page I am trying to set a cookie for. I have deduced that it it pulling my info out of my database correctly. It does not give any errors for username or password when they are entered correctly but when I get to the end of the script where I would like to set a cookie and redirect to a new page it just stays on the same page and appears as if it is loading but nothing happens.

After I stop the browser and attempt to reload the page it gives me an error saying the page cannot be displayed.

Do I need to specify anything before I can have the following code work or is it that it is clashing somewhere else along the way?
Code: [Select]

<?php
else 
{ 
// if login good set cookie
$_POST['username'] = stripslashes($_POST['username']);   
$hour = time() + 3600; 
setcookie(ID_my_site, $_POST['username'], $hour); 
setcookie(Key_my_site, $_POST['pass'], $hour); 
//then redirect them to the members area 
header("Location: http://example.com/");
die();
}  
?>

If I remove this code and simply leave the redirect as shown above, it works. But that defeats the purpose of the script as on the redirected page there has to be a cookie set to display it.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi All,   I hope someone can help!   I've got some code that passes an array of values via an ajax call. This works fine and I can see my values in the specified div:

$("#container").html(data);

What I'd like to do, is get that info and pass it to a cookie. However, I'm struggling a tad. I currently have this:

var set_me = html(data);
$.cookie('choice',set_me, {expires: 7, path: '/'});
alert( $.cookie("choice") );

But sadly it's not working. I think it's something simple but this is new to me some need some help please   Thanks
