premiso Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Is this on an actual site or on Localhost? If on localhost check out this article: http://www.aeonity.com/frost/php-setcookie-localhost-apache Why are you setting the cookie soo many times? I am not sure if this matters, but pHp is CaSe SenSitIve and you are using SetCookie, to be a good coder I would change it to be setcookie just to avoid any possiblity of error now or later. So A: remove the 4 other checks, change the setcookie to lowercase and let us know if you are working on LocalHost as localhost has to have cookies set a different way, unfortunately.

bp90210 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 i have this code as part of an include on another php page before <html> if that helps. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/133203-set-cookie/#findComment-692786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Where are you testing if the cookie has been set? Also what are the values of $cookiePath and $cookieDomain, as that can make or break the function. edit: Ah, setcookie has to be called before any input is sent to the browser. That is the issue right there. Move the include file above the <html> tag and I bet it will work.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Add the following two lines immediately after your first opening <?php tag in your main file to get php to help you - ini_set ("display_errors", "1"); error_reporting(E_ALL); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/133203-set-cookie/#findComment-692822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
