[garrisonian14]

Hi All,

 

I am trying to put a check in my php code to verify that cookies are enabled on client browser or not .

 

I need help in this regard,

 

Can anybody please give some clue, how can i do this ?

 

Is this possible in php or i will have to do this in Javascript.

 

Looking for your help

You can do it in php with setcookie() but you won't know until the next page load if they've worked or not. Soooo, maybe something like this:

 

if (!isset($_GET['cookiecheck']) {

    setcookie(blah, blah, blah);

    header('Location: ?cookiecheck=true);

    die();

}

 

if (isset($_COOKIE['blah']) && $_COOKIE['blah'] == THE_VALUE_YOU_SET_IT_TO) {

    echo 'Cookies are enabled';

}

you'll have to use javascript.  Set a cookie then check for it.  Do a google search for javascript cookies,  you'll find lots of functions to do both.
