BoltZ Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I have for my installation of my page where its the same index.php page for the entire set and the content of the page iwll change depending on if the cookies exist. I have the form input submit button and I have it so when the user clicks the button it will go to addcookie.php which contains this code <?php if(!isset($_COOKIE['step2']) { setcookie("step1", "bboardx", time()+3600); header('Location:http://www.devwebsites.com/install/index.php'); } ?> On my index.php file it will do an isset to see if cookie 1 exists and cookie 2 does not exist, then it will display the introduction and that sort of process alll the way until step 9. Now I have this code here but the error is Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/ericr/public_html/forums/install/addcookie.php on line 3 But I thouight I was doing everything right. Any ideas why its not working? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/130074-display-different-html-if-cookies-exist/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Your're missing a closing brace on this line: if(!isset($_COOKIE['step2'])) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/130074-display-different-html-if-cookies-exist/#findComment-674432 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 You're still getting your braces mixed up. if( isset($_COOKIE['step1']) && !isset($_COOKIE['step2']) ) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/130074-display-different-html-if-cookies-exist/#findComment-674452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
