Cookie incrementing?

[Tjorriemorrie]

hey everyone! Got this little cookie problem. Basically suppose to work like a count for the total number of pages the user have loaded. Somehow the value never gets past 2. So freakin weird. Please help:

 

  if (isset($_COOKIE['totalCount'])) {
    $_COOKIE['totalCount']++;
  } else {
    setcookie('totalCount', 1, time()+60);
  }

 

It works for the session though:

  if (empty($_SESSION['count'])) {
    $_SESSION['count'] = 1;
  } else {
    $_SESSION['count']++;
  }

 

Don't know why the cookie gets stuck at 2

After obtaining and incrementing the value from the cookie, you should write it back to the cookie, which you aren't doing.

Thanks! It's still not working though, but I've tried the following so it must be wrong somewhere?

 

 if (isset($_COOKIE['totalCount'])) {
    $cookInc = $_COOKIE['totalCount']++;
    setcookie('totalCount', $cookInc, time()+60000);
  } else {
    setcookie('totalCount', 1, time()+60000);
  }

 

I think the cookie doesn't save or something   It keeps being at 1. Am I setting it correctly?

[solved] this works:

 

  if (isset($_COOKIE['totalCount'])) {
    $CookInc = $_COOKIE['totalCount'] + 1;
  } else {
    $CookInc = 1;
  }
  setcookie('totalCount', $CookInc, time()+86400);

 

I think $_COOKIE['totalCount']++ doesn't work...anyone knows why??
