PHP - Check If Cookies Enabled

Hello,

is there any way to check if the cookies are enabled by the user's browser rather than storing a cookie and hoping the user is gonna refresh the page so we can test if something is set in the $_COOKIE variable??

I've tried on my localhost, it seems that there are two default cookies (when cookies are enabled) __utma and __utmz, and when the cookies are disabled, the $_COOKIE variable is empty, is that by default in PHP?? Can I rely on that?

Enable cookies and test the result of
Code: [Select]
<?php

print_r(var_dump($_COOKIE));

?>
Disable cookies and test the same page, do you get the same results as me?

Thanks

I want to give the visitors to my site the option of setting certain preferences and remembering what was chosen from one visit to the next. They might have the choice of setting the backgrond colour of the web page or the font or whatever.   I've already written and tested code to write standard cookies that preserve their choices. However, I'm wondering if that's the best way or if there is a better approach. I don't want visitors to have to re-choose their preferences every time they arrive at the site, which would appear to be the result of using a session cookie stored on the server.   If standard cookies ARE the best solution for my situation, how can I test if the visitor has cookies enabled on their browser? I know that some people definitely don't enable cookies and I'm quite prepared to advise them that they won't be able to save preferences until they enable cookies. However, I first need to know how I can tell definitively if cookies are enabled.   Most of the simple code examples I've found by googling simply try to write a cookie and then try to read it; if both succeed, they think the they've established whether cookies are enabled. The more sophisticated examples, particularly those at stackoverflow, come closer but all of them seem to be critiqued by someone to the effect that they won't work in this or that particular situation.   Given how long cookies and PHP have been in existence, I have to believe that SOMEONE has figured out a definitive way of testing whether cookies are enabled that works in all reasonable circumstances.  Can anyone share that technique with me?

Hi guys,

I've been working on a script for a while now,
and I'm sure it doesn't look great and all, and it's probably really messed up..
But right now I've finally got it working!
There's only 1 thing I'd really like to add..
Searching through & listing of remote directories!
The directories I'm trying to list have directory listings enabled,
and I think it *should* be possible.
I just have no clue how.

Here's my current code in a beautiful mix of HTML and PHP:


<?
$border_size = "0";

function returner($what) {
$what=explode("/",$what);
$tps=count($what);
$what=$what[$tps-1];
return $what;
}

$page_url= "";
$home_url=returner(__FILE__);
if(isset($_GET['q'])) {
$qtext=$_GET['q'];
} else {
$qtext="";
}
function getdirsize($directory, $format=FALSE) {
$size = 0;
if(substr($directory,-1) == '/') {
$directory = substr($directory,0,-1);
}
if(!file_exists($directory) || !is_dir($directory) || !is_readable($directory)) {
return -1;
}
if($handle = opendir($directory)) {
while(($file = readdir($handle)) !== false) {
$path = $directory.'/'.$file;
if($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
if(is_file($path)) {
$size += filesize($path);
}
elseif(is_dir($path)) {
$handlesize = getdirsize($path);
if($handlesize >= 0) {
$size += $handlesize;
} else {
return -1;
}
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
if($format == TRUE) {
if($size / 1048576 > 1) {
return round($size / 1048576, 1).' MB';
}
elseif($size / 1024 > 1) {
return round($size / 1024, 1).' KB';
} else {
return round($size, 1).' bytes';
}
} else {
return $size;
}
}

if(isset($_GET['type'])){
  $type=$_GET['type'];
} else {
  $type="new";
}

$textures=0;
$models=0;
$avatars=0;
$seqs=0;
$sounds=0;

foreach (glob("textures/*.jpg") as $texture){
$textures++;
}
foreach (glob("models/*.zip") as $model){
$models++;
}

So right now my question to you PHP freaks is,
can you please help me edit my script so I can search through a remote directory?

*This* is one of the directories I wish to be able to search through & list..

Thanks in advance. 

Edit;
It might help if you know what the site currently looks like.
