why it's not working?

please note the cookie it's not named like a regular one ex:"cookie:[email protected]/" internet address is"cookie:[email protected]/"

it's named like this:"tatae/" and the internet address is "Cookie:admin@localhost/tataee/tatae/"

after this line;

 

$new_a_array = $_COOKIE['saved_announcements'].", $new_a_id";

 

put this;

 

die(''.$new_a_array);

[work_it_work]

same result (((((((((((( the id is replaced in cookie instead of add another after comma (

[gevans]

replace all your code with the following and copy and paste what you have on screen;

 

<?php
//adding another announcement
$new_a_id = $_GET['id'];
$year = (60*60*24*365);
echo 'Line 1: '.$_COOKIE['saved_announcements'].'<br />';
if(isset($_COOKIE['saved_announcements'])){
echo 'Line 2: it was set<br />';
   $a_ids = explode(",", $_COOKIE['saved_announcements']);
   forech($a_isd as $a_id_check) {
      if($new_a_id == trim($a_id_check)) {
         header("Location: a-page-because-that-announcement-is-already-saved.php");
         exit;
      }
   }
   $new_a_array = $_COOKIE['saved_announcements'].", $new_a_id";
   echo 'Line 3: '.$new_a_array;
   setcookie("saved_announcement", $new_a_array, time()-$year);
   setcookie("saved_announcement", $new_a_array, time()+$year);
} else {
echo 'Line 2: it wasn\'t set<br />';
setcookie("saved_announcement", $new_a_id, time()+$year);
?>

tadaaaa :

 

Line 1:

Line 2: it wasn't set

 

 

note that i add a bracket after this line setcookie("saved_announcement", $new_a_id, time()+$year); and here bracket }

 

[work_it_work]

by the way, it's not working ....

[gevans]

Well, it doesn't seem to be storing the cookie at all,

 

Without deleteing your cookies run a different id through the url 4 or 5 times and see if it prints anything different than

 

Line 1:

Line 2: it wasn't set

[work_it_work]

http://localhost/tataee/tatae/save_listing.php?id=1

http://localhost/tataee/tatae/save_listing.php?id=2

http://localhost/tataee/tatae/save_listing.php?id=3

http://localhost/tataee/tatae/save_listing.php?id=4

http://localhost/tataee/tatae/save_listing.php?id=5

...

http://localhost/tataee/tatae/save_listing.php?id=9

 

same result, it replaces the existing id in the cookie with the new one executed from url ....

:'( :'( :'(

[gevans]

I think this has something to do with setting cookies on a local server. Also a cookie requires a page reload as it is sent in the HTTP header, I think this code will work in a live environment, I can't see why it won't work....

[work_it_work]

ok, i agree with you, but cookies work perfect on my server... i use login sessions...

can you test this script somewhere?

[work_it_work]

ok, the file is online:

http://tataee.z1.ro/save_listing.php?id=134

try it to see

same thing, id replace instead of put it after a comma

 

[premiso]

<?php
if (isset($_COOKIE['saved_announcement'])) {
$newCookie = $_COOKIE['saved_announcement'] . ", " . $_GET['id'];
setcookie('saved_announcement', $newCookie, time()+3600, "/", "yourdomain.com");
}else {
setcookie('saved_announcement', $_GET['id'], time()+3600, "/", "yourdomain.com");
}

echo "Cookie Contains: " . $_COOKIE['saved_announcement'];
die();
?>

 

Doing that outputs this after I ran that for id=1 and id=2 and id=3

 

Cookie Contains: 1, 2, 3

 

I do not know where your script is messing up, possible at the setcookie function, notice I added the path and domain to that.

[work_it_work]

well i solved this, it just need an array to work.

the server wasn't the problem...

tank you very much for all of you that helped here!!! this topic will be marked as solved, most of the problem was solved here!

You can store an array in a cookie by serialize it and then unserialize it when you retrieve to re-form the array.
