mikwit Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I've been trying to get a smooth way to set cookies and for some reason its not working... I know the function is getting called (I put an echo "hello"; command in the function to check) but for some reason that I don't know the cookie isn't getting set... I have other cookies on the site that are working so i'm not blocking them and using a web dev toolbar there are no cookies from this command. Main file, Liked to as index.php?id=1 <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./include/css.css"> <script type='text/javascript' src='./include/jquery.pack.js'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='./include/custom.js'></script> <?php include("./include/functions.php"); ?> </head> <body> <?php if($_GET['id'] != ""){ setSchoolid($_GET['id']); echo "hello"; } getSchoolid(); ?> </body> </html> And then there's the included function file which I'll just show the important parts: function getSchoolid(){ if(isset($_COOKIE['schoolid'])){ // cookie exists! do this: include("./index_body.php"); }else{ include("./index_get.php"); } } function setSchoolid($id){ setcookie ('schoolid', "1", time()+(60*60*24)); echo "hello"; } Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks a bunch. So When i go to index.php?id=1 I get "hellohello" but without the set cookie.
