insane cookie!

[dreamwest]

Im going round in circles trying to set a simple cookie, ive done this before but i cant get it to work. Can someone see my error??

 

$expire=time()+60*60*24*30*30;
setcookie("turbo", "on", $expire, "/");
echo "Completed! <a href=\"/\">Click here to test</a>";

if(!$_COOKIE['turbo']){
  echo 'its not there';
}elseif($_COOKIE['turbo'] == "on" ){
  echo 'its on';
}

Works fine when I test it (although I'm getting an expected "undefined index" notice when $_COOKIE['turbo'] doesn't exist). Just remember that the cookie is first available on the next page load.

Thats why i added the

echo "Completed! <a href=\"/\">Click here to test</a>";

part

 

Ive tested it on 3 browser and no cookie is set, although i can set cookies with javascript

 

...maybe an elusive bug....

Try adding this to the top of the script, for debugging:

 

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Also check if setcookie() returns false:

 

if (setcookie("turbo", "on", $expire, "/") === false) {
echo 'setcookie() failed';
}

Yep works now. It was the ajax http request i was using to initiate the page. It still doesnt work with ajax but works when browser enters page.
