[[)OBER]V[AN]

hi all, can anyone help me?
[code]setcookie('user_id',1,mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 32, 2030)); [/code]

when i try to display the valeu of $_COOKIE['user_id']
in IE it works,
in Opera it doesn't

In Opera it some how disappears [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/huh.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":huh:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"huh.gif\" /]

for example set it in seconds??

Try the tutorials to find out how...
Then again i never use opera.

Array
(

maybe you have your opera browser settings set to not accept cookies.

[[)OBER]V[AN]

Browser settings is ok, it accepts cookies.
In opera it creats the cookie and it working wile the page is up, when i close opera and try to open it again the cookie is gone...
[img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/huh.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":huh:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"huh.gif\" /]

Make sure you dont have the setting "[i]Delete new cookies when exiting Opera[/i]" is ticked. You can check this by going to Tools -> Preferences Avanced Tab -> Cookies

Thats the only thing I ahve come up as to why Opera is deleting the cookie.

The setting is ok....

I don't know why i have this problem and it's pissing me off.

Intresting! I have tried your script and it works fine for me. I have no idea what else might be the problem. This is the code I used:
[code]<?php

// check that cookie hasnt been set
if(!isset($_COOKIE['user_id']))
{
    // set the cookie
    setcookie('user_id',1,mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 32, 2030));

    echo "Cookie has been set. Refresh the browser window";
}
else
{
    // get the cookie
    echo "Retrieving cookie...<br />\n";
    echo $_COOKIE['user_id'];
}

?>[/code]

wildteen88 make one page with this code:
[code]
<?php

// check that cookie hasnt been set
if(!isset($_COOKIE['user_id']))
{
    // set the cookie
    setcookie('user_id',1,mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 32, 2030));

    echo "Cookie has been set. Refresh the browser window";
}
?>
[/code]
and enother page with this code:
[code]
<?php

// check that cookie hasnt been set
if(isset($_COOKIE['user_id']))
{
    // get the cookie
    echo "Retrieving cookie...<br />\n";
    echo $_COOKIE['user_id'];
}
?>
[/code]

do the folowing:
1) activate the first page.
2) go to the second page.
3) close the opera.
4) open the opera and open the second page ""WITHOUT THE FIRST ONE""!!!
5) do refresh and you will see that the cookie is not set any more

Did what you said and it works fine for me. Cookie is still set.

EDIT: Heres a [url=http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cshepwood/cookie_opera2.wmv]short video[/url]

I found the problem....
Opera doesn't save cookies from local files, when i uploaded the files to a host, the cookie worked...
:-\  i wish it would work on local files too

[wildteen88]

It does work with local files. Look at the attached video, you'll see the files are being served locally.
