* Solved *Setting cookies via includes

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have a simple script uploaded to mydomain.com/test.php containing the following:

[code]<?php

setcookie("tester");
echo "tester";

?>[/code]

I then have a file hosted locally with the following code:

[code]<?php

include "http://www.mydomain.com/test.php";

?>[/code]

When I run the local file, the echo text is shown, however the cookie isn't set. If I place test.php locally also, the include works as expected.

Thanks for any help,
Stephen

This is because when you include the URL it gets the php script from the webserver which will parse the scrip and then just send you the output of the script.

So in theory your webserver visited the other server and got the cookie set not the person visiting the page..
