cookie help...

batfink1 · July 7, 2009

hey well i have one page that produces a running text list with the latest addition to the list underlined. The variable for my text list is $sport_list and I'm when I'm using echo($sport_list); it works fine but when i set a cookie with the variable in

setcookie("sport",$sport_list);

and echo the cookie with echo($_COOKIE['sport']); the underlining doesn't work

any help?

working script...

<?php

$sport_list='';

if (isset($_POST['sports'])) {
$sport = $_POST['sports'];
$dts = date("G:i:s d/m/y");
if ($_POST['sport_list']) {
$sport_list = "<li style='text-decoration: underline;'>$sport $dts" . $_POST['sport_list'] . "</li>";
} else {
$sport_list = "<li>$sport $dts</li>";
}
}

setcookie("sport",$sport_list);
?>
