stephenk Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hi,I have a simple script uploaded to mydomain.com/test.php containing the following:[code]<?phpsetcookie("tester");echo "tester";?>[/code]I then have a file hosted locally with the following code:[code]<?phpinclude "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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocker-z Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 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..RegardsLiam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenk Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 Thanks for your help.Is there a function to include the actual code and not just the output. I can't place the actual code in the script for security reasons, hence the reason Im using includes.Regards,Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocker-z Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 you would have to use include('test.php') and link localy instead of froma website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenk Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 Thanks for the help. Im going to have to just put the actual code in the file and use an include to get the private bits.RegardsStephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
